I am mostly a commuter and just wear normal pants. Have been thinking about maybe getting a few special denim pants for riding, but they are quite expensive.

What do you all use? I do ATGAT everything else.

By special pants you mean protective clothing? Of course! Dress for the slide and so on.

When I was commuting by bike in Europe I had a full touring suit but also summer bike clothes. Two sets of pants (one denim style , one regular rider style) which would've protected me in case.

And yes, for me the (used touring) clothing was more expensive than the (used) bike.

Yes, but specifically the pants. I've got all the gear otherwise. I find some of the offerince seem a bit expensive and hot to wear. I mainly commute to work on my MC

I understand the issue but would recommend safety first.

Accidents happen and you don't need to be at fault. Yet the injury can be severe.

Yeah, that's why I wanted to hear about what my fellow lemma use
