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

    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.

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

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

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

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

    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?

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

    Do I need a leather jacket to look like a biker?

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

    Denim jeans and a leather jacker is definitely the way to go. Put a bandana around your head and the look would be perfect.
