Help me out here please. Why wouldn’t I wear Blue jeans while riding a bike?
Because the jeans can get caught in the chain and cause a bad accident. Better to wear shorts or if wearing pants to tie the pant leg tightly against your leg so nothing can get caught.
Thanks for asking, I was wondering the same thing. Many people I know wear jeans when casually biking. It’s kind of silly to spend mucho bucks suiting up for the Tour De France look when you’re not a competitive biker, IMO. And I’m no Obama fan but really, I wore a helmet (and hated the thing) when my kids were little and we biked, just as he was biking with his kids in that situation. I wanted to set the example for them. I just don’t see the big deal about this pic - and I’m really glad there haven’t been cameras around in my less-than-graceful moments of my life!
