Eperiment 3 - Biker Gear

The idea is to dress in motorcycle gear when biking. This firstly was interesting to me since it combines an existing rebellious nature of motorcycling to the act of biking, plus it's also moving completely away with the common practices of biking. Since when cycling, the attire is typically to dress down, in thinner and lighter clothes, this flys in the face of most preconceived notions of what a cyclist should wear.
While actually wearing the outfit when biking for an extended time was very uncomfortable since it quickly became hot and heavy. The purpose was not to be comfortable though, it was however rebellious feeling so the experiment was a success. Although not one I'd like to repeat anytime soon.
