When riding in the city, especially for purposes other than simply riding, you could argue that it’s best to dress inconspicuously to avoid any unwanted attention when you’re off the bike, as well as to feel more comfortable going about your day-to-day activities. Of course, it goes without saying that once you do get on the bike, it’s nice to know that the clothes you’re wearing can protect you in the event things go sideways.
Luckily, nearly all gear and equipment manufacturers have products that incorporate styling cues from the world of mainstream fashion, and as such, are nearly indistinguishable from their non-motorcycling counterparts. This is true for jackets, pants, and shoes, and it allows motorcyclists to have a wider selection of styling options that can double as their daily outfits, too. A good example of this comes from popular British gear manufacturer RST, with its new Urban 3 sneakers.
