Question

I've recently lost most of my hair from medical treatments. What is the best thing to do while on a long ride?

Community Answer

Wearing a bandanna that covers your entire head and a helmet will protect your scalp against the sun.

Question

Should I carry some type of knife?

Community Answer

A pocket knife like a Swiss Army knife or multi-tool pliers would be a good choice. Most bikers I know carry something for emergency fixes or tightening screws.

Question

Can I still wear biker gear even though I don't own a motorcycle?

Community Answer

Of course - you decide your own style. No one can tell you not to, but be prepared for some people to ask you why you wear the gear without owning a motorcycle.

Question

Are combat boots the same as biker boots?

Community Answer

No. They look similar, but as the names imply, they were built for different purposes (combat vs. biking).

Question

If I wear combat boots, a leather jacket, black leggings, black shirt, and a black lacy skirt, will I look like a biker?

Community Answer

You'll look Goth or like a rock chick. Bikers don't tend to wear skirts.

Question

How can I look like a biker if I am in a wheelchair?

Community Answer

Bandanna, big beard, and a lot of attitude. It's not the clothing that makes a biker, it's the attitude toward life.

Do I have to have a bandanna?

Community Answer

Sunglasses will do just fine, but I recommend the aviator kind. Of course it all depends on your preferences.

Can I substitute similar-looking work boots, if I love steel-toed boots?

Community Answer

Yes. The most important thing about biker style is not worrying what anyone else thinks or feels about what you do.

A denim jacket will work fine too. Any muted color like black, navy, grey, or blue will look great.
