Assualt Protection
You have no idea what this guy had to go through in the frozen food section to get that ice cream. All I’m saying is that Titan may or may not have hit him with a tennis ball from the air cannon.

And if you saw him in the parking lot, it’d make perfect sense when you saw him getting on his motorcycle. Nothing funny about this one.
September 14th, 2009
i wear my protective gear on my bike and take it off when i go in places for a reason. i wonder if he even owns a motorbike or if he is just “that cool” because i don’t see a helmet and i don’t know where he will store the ice cream on his bike.
September 14th, 2009
maybe he is just a paint-ball douche bag.
September 14th, 2009
agreed, its only funny if he is not on a bike, and this site isn’t for us to assume, so. yea.
September 14th, 2009
Even if he is riding a bike come on dude… you look like a teenage mutant ninja turtle
September 14th, 2009
i look like this as a biker
September 14th, 2009
Just a motorcycle jacket. Not funny.
September 14th, 2009
The tennis ball actually hit the ground before him, so technically he lost that round.
September 14th, 2009
LaCrosse Equipment.
September 14th, 2009
+1 to Murf. This entry is lame.
September 14th, 2009
maybe he has a cruiser with bag lol
September 14th, 2009
Look! It’s Ichi the Killer!
September 14th, 2009
You haven’t seen the worst….his cup is on the outside too protecting the family ‘jewels’.
September 14th, 2009
I owned motorcycle safety equipment for the track and the street. None of it came with fish-netting. This safety equipment, as it sits on him, does no good unless he has a leather suit on over it to keep it in place — that said, the leathers typically have their own pads and if he took the leathers off, why would he not take off the fish-net motorcycle gear?
Still funny because of this IMHO.
September 14th, 2009
Maybe he’s pretending to be Batman….
“What makes you different from the rest of us?!?!”
Batman – “I’m not wearing hockey pads…”
September 14th, 2009
First of all he’s a douche for wearing mesh body armor. Buy a jacket, moron.
September 14th, 2009
He probably locked his helmet on the bike and the ice cream would fit in a tank bag…I’ve had those sudden urges too!
September 14th, 2009
It’s Dwight from The Office. Note how the short-sleeved, collared shirt and dress pants contrast with the protective outerwear used for simulated combat play.
September 14th, 2009
I get that all this would normally be under a motorcycle jacket. But why take off the jacket and leave all this on? Bizarre.
September 14th, 2009
While the post is funny as all hell, it’s just a dude in a mesh riding jacket. He may even have his helmet in his left hand there, obscured by his body or just locked on his motorcycle.
I never leave my gear on my bike, too many thieves in this world.
September 14th, 2009
Murf – Those are motorcycle pads? A mesh shirt with American Gladiator shoulders and a big Maxi-pad down the back? Seriously? They protect the rider is he falls off his bike while it’s parked?
September 14th, 2009
This guy is wearing motorcycle armor. It’s meshed so that it isn’t unbearably hot in the warmer months and can be worn over a heavier jacket in the colder months.
If you’re just going in to grab ice cream real quick, it’s not worth the trouble to take it off, but it is worth the trouble to wear it for when a wreck happens.
Whoever submitted this is an ignoramus.
September 14th, 2009
Lissen you guys, i dont know who took this pickshure, but its pissin me off. i where dis becaues the last time i was hear i got run over by a guy with a “I hate queers” tee shirt. so leave me TF alone. i where what i wanna whear.
September 14th, 2009
I’ve never come across anyone wearing that on a bike and there is not enough protection for paintball, I was thinking an umpire at a kids baseball game or something, but seriously, take it off before you go into public, you look like a dildo.
September 14th, 2009
Agreed, he is one of those guys that rides a speedbike. The stuff he is wearing is for motorcycles.
September 14th, 2009
Maybe the armor is to protect him from the swarms of ladies!
September 14th, 2009
The guy from DOOM really let himself go.
September 14th, 2009
What makes it funny is he is wearing a collared short sleeve dress shirt under it. He is probably stopping in after his 9 to 5 desk job selling insurance policys. He is saying to the world “Hey, I may sell insurance but I’m still bad enough to ride a riceburner.”
September 14th, 2009
Maybe his bike has a sticker on it that reads “I brake for squirrels” or sometihng gay like that and he’s had his ass kicked a few times, so now he’s protecting himself. Or maybe, he’s just a douche!
September 14th, 2009
He’s picking up some ice cream and returning to Barter Town so that he can watch tonight’s edition of Thunderdome.
September 14th, 2009
Cookieking: Seriously? You take off your gear EVERYTIME you pop into a store for something? Yasureyoubetcha. And where do you PUT your gear when you get off yer bike to pop into the store? The convinient GEAR LOCKER that they have in every place you visit? Srsly, if there is a place to store his gear on his bike then there must be a place to put the icecream.
September 14th, 2009
@Toby, must’ve left the neon jacket on his Elite 80.
-Ichi the Killer Comment…..score!
September 14th, 2009
It’s not fishnet, it’s mesh. I own a couple jackets like this. Not the best protection, obviously, but better than nothing on a 100 degree day. And if he’s buying ice cream on a hot day, he obviously doesn’t have time to put his equipment back on when he gets back to his bike.
Still, mildly amusing. I feel like a dork when I walk around in that stuff too.
September 14th, 2009
It’s called a Pressure Suit – its under-jersey protect for dirtbike / streetbiking.
And supermoto
I have one myself.
The author / person that submitted this thinking it was “strange” is where the humor is.
A vest like that is simply a seatbelt to those of us who ride motards
September 14th, 2009
LOL at all the people defending this guy’s attire and calling it lame. Yes, it is for riding motorcycles, understand. But, good god, its FISHNET!!!
September 14th, 2009
this is not funny, just motorcycle gear.
he took his hot leather jacket off, and left the skid pads..big deal
September 14th, 2009
It’s funny ’cause he’s not on a bike, dewd, no matter what’s in the parking lot. And if he’s on the unicycle, it’s three times as funny. He’s in Wal-stinkin’-Mart. Ya’ll are humor impaired.
September 14th, 2009
That looks like Jon Gosselin.
Maybe Jon wears the body armor for protection against that bitch wife of his.
Or wears it when he fights with Hailey over the pot.
September 14th, 2009
Boba Fett: My suit’s at the cleaners…
September 14th, 2009
This motorcycle sh*t has gone too far. Motorcyle protective fashion is now taking a page from the Flaming Studio 54 book.
September 14th, 2009
Yea, that is motorcycle gear, but he looks like an idiot. I can understand why he would take off a leather jacket due to heat, but I’d put up with the heat not to look like an idiot. Overall, not funny, just stupid.
September 14th, 2009
As many others have noted, it’s motorcycle gear. No mystery there. His helmet is probably stowed in his bike. When I stop at a store while out riding, I will often stow my helmet but wear the rest of my gear as I shop. Motorcyclists don’t wear gear because they give a crap about what anyone thinks, they wear it for safety from all the idiot cagers who are trying to kill them.
As for where he’ll put the ice cream if he’s on a motorcycle… Why, in the spot where his helmet currently is stowed. Obviously.
Not all bikes suffer from a lack of storage. My Suzuki Burgman 650 will hold a 24 case of Diet Coke and my camera bag under the seat, with room for two full helmets in the top box. And it’ll do over 100mph so I can get home before the ice cream melts
September 14th, 2009
Leave him alone people…he’s got an entire universe to protect.
September 14th, 2009
NO ONE IS GETTIN’ MY BRYERS!!
September 14th, 2009
People should dress like this on Black Friday.
September 14th, 2009
It’s probably even funnier when he goes outside and fires up his fucking scooter…
September 14th, 2009
“blah blah” yes i do i wear a leather 2 piece and i hang the jacket on the bike and throw a lock on it, likewise with my helmet, but i dont use my bike to travel from work to home i use it to hit the twisties and grab a food i have never really worried about someone cutting the lock nor my helmet strap, and if i was buying icecream i would get a single serving as my bike has no bags, i guess the funny part here is something all us motorcycle riders can ask why protect your upper body if not legs rists and knuckles as well,? because i know we have all went out without part of our gear,
end
September 14th, 2009
lokari, i wish my bike had stow away parts, the only place i have is under my seat, i keep swimming trunks and my rain gear, just incase
September 14th, 2009
for anybody who has crashed on a bike this normal. for anybody who has not try it and this will be normal for you to.
September 14th, 2009
Hey Clint… My “fucking scooter”, as I mentioned, can do 100 mph without breathing hard, has a 650cc engine, gets 50 mpg, has gobs of storage, and can carry two up comfortably.
But even if the guy in the picture is riding a 250cc scoot-about-town, he’s smart to wear safety gear. The size of the bike doesn’t matter when you’re sliding on your ass across pavement.
September 14th, 2009
Damn, people. He’s at Wal-Mart. He’s not on a damn motorcycle. I don’t care if it is “protective” gear for a bike or a special garment for holding his organs in place, why would you wear it in public? He looks like a douchebag. That’s why it’s funny. Stop making it complicated. Just laugh at the moron buying ice cream in a silly getup.
September 15th, 2009
It’s just motorcycle gear. If you find this funny you probably also laugh when someone farts or says hard. The only thing funny about this is the pathetic attempts at humor by most of the people leaving comments.
September 15th, 2009
Yeah umm guys usually wear this if they’re on a sport bike soooo this one is really lame and not funny at all. Its only funny if you’re a moron that doesnt know what protective gear is when riding a sport bike.
September 15th, 2009
I thought this was hilarious because of the nice clothes he has on under it. Also I did not know that people wore that sort of thing under their jackets. I have never seen someone get off a motorcycle looking like that, so I was highly amused with this picture.
September 15th, 2009
I bet he needs all that protection when he takes his bike off “sweet jumps”
September 15th, 2009
I live in Florida and have never seen any motorcycle riders wearing anything that ridiculous. Giant elbow bumpers? Is the back thingy for lumbar support? What a GEEK. Oatmeal man looks ready for Mortal Combat.
September 15th, 2009
Is it me or do bikers types lack a sense of humor. No matter how ya shake it, this dude looks strange.
September 15th, 2009
If he was sitting on a bike, he’d look perfectly fine, and very safety-conscious, and I can respect his choice in riding gear.
But, he’s standing in front of a potato chip rack, holding Breyers, and looking like he’s fixin’ to take down Mad Max at the checkout stand.
Ergo…funny.
September 15th, 2009
Yup – Motorcycle gear –
I have several mesh jackets for summer (also with the stupid looking padding).
When it hits 90, my leather jacket is a non-starter – even a mesh leather jacket…
And yes, I wear gear (I’ve been over the hood of a left turner going 45mpg – makes me a “true believer” when it comes to gear) – And I wear it into stores because I don’t like idiots dumping dog poop in my helmet while I’m gone –
I’m actually glad to see the guy wearing gear on his bike instead of looking “cool” in a wife-beater, shorts and flip-flops like around here…
September 15th, 2009
Actually, it’s not just being in the protective motorcycle gear standing in line. It’s what he’s wearing underneath, too.
He looks like a junior high math teacher the kids think is really cool because of his 3 day beard, but then he’s also wearing a short sleeve dress shirt and polyester pants.
September 15th, 2009
HA! my ex has this same exact gear he looked just as dorky in it
September 15th, 2009
********OH OH!!! LOOK AT ME. I’M A BIKER”**********
Leave it with the bike or take it off or look like a dork. We really don’t care if you are a ‘biker’.
—-Oh, and I ride too.
September 15th, 2009
wow come on guys. it is funny in context. not everything on this site is hillarious when you make sense of it, but it is kind of funny to see things like this walking around walmart. i once had my ear piece in at walmart and people were staring at me when i was talking to someone on the other end, then finally someone asked and the kid was amazed and asked where he could get such a small cell phone from.
September 15th, 2009
Yep, motorcycle gear. -Stupid- looking motorcycle gear, but hey. I have a similiar jacket that doesn’t look quite as wierd. Have to agree, though, nothing funny about a mesh jacket. Can’t really wear a leather one in summer down here in Florida, especially if riding to work. You’ll frequently find me on my bike wearing collared shirts, since it’s work required appearal.
Also usually wear the jacket when I go in somewhere, simply because some idiot stole my last one. At $300 for a decent one, I’m not going to let it sit out on the bike unprotected! -Especially- at WalMart!
September 15th, 2009
teenage mutant ninja turtle? really? I assume you also think its funny when someone wears a full leather suit & you think they look like a Power Ranger…
I’d rather someone look like a power ranger or TMNT than getting skin grafts because they went down without gear.
September 15th, 2009
Hey Lokari,
My fucking bike will do 60mph in second gear – out of six. You fall over and you get a boo boo. Someone on a real bike skids across the pavement and it’s a matter of how much donor skin they can find.
Get over yourself
September 15th, 2009
Almost as bad as the Hardly crowd that wears the “look at my ass” chaps.
September 15th, 2009
Now, now. This poor gentleman obviously suffers from a degernative bone disease. Bravo to Wal*Mart for accomodating his needs by opening an exoskelton-friendly checkout lane!
September 15th, 2009
Yep, definitely Shredder……Bebop and Rocksteady must be outside guarding his bike….Since when did Bikers become so sensitive? I think a tear fell earlier as a poster was trying to desperately explain this was protective gear.
It very well may be, but here is a pudgy dude (buying Ice Cream no less) wearing slacks and a polo, who is wearing some fish net that appears to be little league catcher’s gear on backwards…..so yeah, that’s funny
September 15th, 2009
Wow, motorcycle padding… that’s cool! Shows some responsibility on his part. I assume that also means he wears a helmet. That means he must have something to protect : – )
I figure if you don’t wear a helmet, you’ll eventually weed yourself from the gene pool one way or another…
September 15th, 2009
Alrighty then. Guess I won’t wear my protective riding gear into Wal-Mart. Not a funny one kids!
September 15th, 2009
This isn’t funny, just a motorcyclist. He should get a jacket instead of the mesh padding but it’s still not worth posting this pic.
September 15th, 2009
Well… this one can be excused if the guy was in a hurry before/after going biking in the woods
September 15th, 2009
@Clint “My fucking bike will do 60mph in second gear”
Um, yeah, you kind of miss the point. I don’t care who has the biggest willie. I was simply observing that ‘scooter’ covers a wide range of machines, and that safety gear is every bit as important on a scoot as it is on a zoom-splat.
“You fall over and you get a boo boo. Someone on a real bike skids across the pavement and it’s a matter of how much donor skin they can find.”
Let’s see, squiddy crotch-rocket buffoon crashes at 60 and slides across pavement… scooter rider crashes at 60 and slides across pavement… hmm, both are going to suffer the same damage, regardless of the bike they were riding, because they’re *not-on-the-effing-bike* anymore. Are you always comprehension impaired, or do you only have trouble with the written word?
“Get over yourself”
Oh, come on, you get over me first. Give it a try, sport.
September 15th, 2009
Hey … even stormtroopers gotta eat!
September 15th, 2009
+1 to Murf and Deadend. He probably just stopped in for the one item he’s carrying. Easier to leave the gear on than to take it off and secure it to the bike. Safer too, given the number of people in urban areas that like to cut jackets and rifle luggage. While I can see why someone not familiar with the gear might be baffled, it just doesn’t end up being funny.
September 15th, 2009
it’s motorcycle body armor and he still looks like a douche for wearing it the way he does. it’s meant to allow a rider to wear his regular (not riding) jacket over it… or even a hoodie. it’s not meant to be worn looking like you’re on your way to comic con
September 16th, 2009
those are lacrosse pads and he no doubt just got finished, you are moronic if you could not realize that and need to check your repitoire of sports. you are speaking from the wrong almanac.
September 16th, 2009
shopping at walmart is a contact sport….wear protection.
September 16th, 2009
“Your Jedi mind tricks are no match for me. Wait what the hell I am doing in line at wal-mart dressed like Robo cop.
September 16th, 2009
Srsly. He probably had a full jacket waiting on his bike (hopefully secured) with his helmet. Bikes also have cargo nets that would easily hold a bag of groceries.
September 16th, 2009
What I think is funny is all the people who take folks’ comments so seriously and get offended… I’m with BWR – if you’re looking for intelligent social commentary, this is not the site for you. Just take it for what it is – a funny picture and nothing more. I’m sure when he’s on his ride he looks perfectly appropriate. However, when he’s in line at Wal-Mart, he looks like Donatello. And that’s funny. Nuff said.
September 16th, 2009
Who knew Tron was such a smart shopper?
September 16th, 2009
Wow… You people are way to serious. If he rides a bike, he’s a douche for leaving that on. Otherwise, it’s just funny as hell. If you think this is cool becuase you ride a bike and you have one… well, you’re a pretty big d-bag yourself and you were the laughing stck of the motorcycle shop when you left.
“I can’t belive Tom sold one of those rediculous things! I can’t believe that fag would wear that in public! You’d think he’d just buy a leather jacket like a real man…”
September 16th, 2009
actually this is ‘road armor’ for under a jacket for motorcycles.. Is this actually the smartest person I have seen on this sight.. Go you man!!
September 16th, 2009
yep, just a motorcyclist. Nothing wrong with wearing gear.
September 17th, 2009
Maybe he’s the Driver from http://peopleofwalmart.com/?p=3289
September 17th, 2009
Maybe this guy is actually the rider of the unicycle in the previous picture? Just sayin…
September 19th, 2009
its just bike gear, and for the morons saying why wear it in public some of that gear is a pain to get on and off. if its anything like the under armor that i had its not really mesh or fishnet but a ballistic nylon
September 20th, 2009
I’m pretty sure he was going to Dragon*Con
September 20th, 2009
seriously? This one is not funny. The people who created this website probably work at Billy Mart
September 20th, 2009
Roadkill in protective armor. At least he wears some.
September 21st, 2009
dang I better not walk into a walmart after going to a track day…
a girl in full one-piece leathers, Ya’ll might think Im a dom in suit in walmart haha.
September 21st, 2009
LMAO!!!!!!!!!! Awesome reference to American Gladiators!!
September 21st, 2009
Interesting……………..maybe people who spend their time making fun of others should learn how to spell before doing so. It”s ASSAULT not ASSUALT.
September 22nd, 2009
Saw this idiot or someone else just like him at the Ellijay, GA Walmart just the other day.
September 22nd, 2009
its ok to make fun of people because they dress like morons that is unless they ride a motorcycle? really? you guys are all douche bags (not sure if i spelled that correctly) i find that people who comment are worse than the people they are commenting on
September 22nd, 2009
Yeah, this pick is a fail.
The man is wearing downhill mountain biking gear. We used to sell those at full boar bike store.
September 22nd, 2009
motorcycle or not…it’s weird. good for him for wearing protection but really….i’ve never seen anything like this. and my dad, brother and husband ride bikes….but they just wear leathers and helmets…this is amazing to me
September 22nd, 2009
He probably loved one, broke up with him and hasn’t been happy since.
September 23rd, 2009
Here’s a tip. If you’re gonna wear bike body armor, don’t look like a dork. Put something over it. It’s designed to go underneath. Would be funnier if he was really riding a bicycle instead.
September 23rd, 2009
Damn you guys need to get out more. That’s motocross body armor. It’s not really street safe but it’s usually cheaper than a jacket. This douche just wants attention cuz it looks silly without something over it. Even if it is really hot outside, he still looks like a fucking dork. What you wear usually shows what type of rider you are and I feel this guy just bought a bike to impress chicks at work. Or he thought it’d be cheaper on gas but didn’t realize Motorists hate bikers, it’s impossible to ride in the rain or any extreme weather, it’s not as easy as it looked; and it takes more time out of his busy schedule to put on/take off his gear while choking his bike till his engine warms up (unless you have fuel injection.)
It’s all assumptions but you’d be surprised how many shitty Motorcyclists there are since most people will sell you a bike without having a Class M license. It’s easy to get. You don’t go get one or don’t take a course, your ass shouldn’t be on that thing for your safety and other motorist’s safety.
September 23rd, 2009
Ummm…he didn’t take it off because jackets with armor like this don’t fit in saddle or tank bags! Most bikes have helmet locks so he’s not carrying his helmet. And based on what he is wearing, he probably only has a tank bag since most cruiser/touring bikers don’t wear this type of jacket.
Yes .. he looks like a dork. But at least he has enough balls to ride a motorcycle instead of just watching them do down the street and wishing you could.
September 23rd, 2009
Id rather look like a turtle then a splat of red asphalt and my head laying in my helmet a mile down the road!
September 23rd, 2009
that is an outfit that streetbike riders wear..its breathes more than leather
September 23rd, 2009
Agreed with first poster, to those that dont know he may look a bit odd, but deff not the freeks you see on the rest of this site, looks like bike gear to me. and No im not leaving expensive bike gear laying on my tank when i have to pick something up from the store, protective gear is not cheap !
September 24th, 2009
I have that, it’s Azonic Z6 body armor. He took his forearm straps off for some reason though. I use it for streetbike stunting where you’re not going very fast and your main injuries come from impact, not rash so much although the chest and back will protect you a lot from that. Full leather going under 70mph is a joke, only need that for the track. This guy either stunts or rides some sort of enduro I’m guessing. Doubt he rides a MTB cause of how fat he is LOL.The sixsixone comp suit or pressure suit are better though but I got the Z6 before they came out. I do wear a jacket over it when weather allows.
http://www.sixsixone.com
September 25th, 2009
This is mesh armor. It’s high-tensil strength mesh. When it’s 85+, and you are in leather, you will wish you had worn the mesh. That is… unless you are out there getting busy on two wheels.
I only wear leather… I’m a bit jealous.
September 25th, 2009
C’mon, guys, don’t bust on “Survelliance”…When you can’t even spell “Assault”.
September 26th, 2009
Its not motorcycle gear I don’t care what you people think. It is a pressure suit for freeride mountain biking. He rides mountain bikes off cliffs. Pretty respectable amongst our crowd. And besides, if its already on and you’re on your way out to ride, why bother taking it off? I consistently go to eat after riding with my full face in hand, knee pads, gloves, and pressure suit.
September 27th, 2009
He’s wearing a motor cycle jacket his helmet I think is in his other hand and nice motorcycles have compartments where you can put small items or he will figure out how to hold the ice cream in his lap. Notice he only have the one item. Not that hard. He might even have a rack on the back with bungie cords that he can hold the ice cream down with.
September 29th, 2009
Cx6XTz I want to say – thank you for this!
October 1st, 2009
He used to order his groceries online. But due to the failed US economy, he had to “downsize.” He saw the youtubes of cops looting Walmarts in New Orleans and black riots etc. He didn’t know what to expect at his first time shopping.
October 2nd, 2009
So everyone keeps talking about the biker jacket being normal… If you own, wear or promote any kinda of biking pro jacket that is fucking Fishnet you are a complete tool.
October 3rd, 2009
site best
October 4th, 2009
Perfect work!,
October 6th, 2009
agreed. just a motorcycle jacket. I have one from alpine stars. not funny
October 9th, 2009
This man bought this jacket/armor durin his midlife crisis, thinking it looked cool. So he kept it on when he walked into wal-mart, feeling like a total badass with it on.
Someone kick this man in the nuts and steal his String Cheese packets.
October 10th, 2009
I’d rather look like than idiot than sacrifice protection while riding. Not funny.
October 10th, 2009
yeah yeah imagine what people think of me when i pull up at walmart everyday in full racing leathers with a ginormous backpack strapped to the back of a sportbike……the only funny thing about this picture is the guy has absolutely no taste in riding apparel. looks more like he’s wearing offroad armor over a cheap textile jacket. what a tool. he probably rides a gixxer……
October 15th, 2009
its a warm weather mesh armor jacket for sport bikes lol and its a fuckin expensive one too, guys got taste actually
October 16th, 2009
That’s his unicycle in the pic above
October 18th, 2009
lol… maybe he was shopping on Black Friday… I hear people get pretty intense the day after Thanksgiving… he just wanted to be prepared lol…
October 21st, 2009
Joey, is that you?
October 23rd, 2009
ummm u spelled assault wrong… i guess u belong in walmart too
October 31st, 2009
yea he might look like a ninja turtle but lets see you get out on a motorcycle and go sliding down the pavement on your back and then watch him do the same thing and we will see who gets up laughing
November 3rd, 2009
LARPER!!! so sad.
November 5th, 2009
Jeez, I’ve never seen so many touchy bikers in one place! I ride a sportbike with full gear also, so I understand where you all are coming from. But this guy does look ridiculous. I have all the same pads, but they are concealed INSIDE the jacket. That’s definitely moto-x gear or meant for UNDER a non-padded jacket. At 60 mph, the asphalt would tear through that mesh like a hot knife through butter. His joints may all be intact but he’ll surely need a couple skin grafts and months of rehab/therapy.

Jeez, I’ve never seen so many touchy bikers in one place! I ride a sportbike with full gear also, so I understand where you all are coming from. But this guy does look ridiculous. I have all the same pads, but they are concealed INSIDE the jacket. My gear is textile mesh too, but it’s much thicker and has vents for air flow. Plus, you have to factor at least 15 degrees difference for the highway wind, so your argument about the heat doesn’t really hold any water. Sure it gets hot at stoplights, but if you cant handle it for the minute it takes for the light to change, you’re probably not tough enough to be riding a bike anyhow. What he’s wearing is definitely either moto-x gear, downhill mountain bike gear, or meant for UNDER a non-padded jacket. At 60 mph, the asphalt would tear through that mesh like a hot knife through butter. His joints may all be intact but he’ll surely need a couple skin grafts and months of rehab/therapy. And he still looks like a tool. I’m sure while he’s standing there seeing everyone stare at him he’s thinking, “Yeah, soak it all in folks. I know you’re jealous. I’m a true badass.”

My brother is an umpire. That looks like umpire gear. A real necessity when you’re sitting directly in line with a 80+ mph fastball.

Lord Vader, I have returned from Wal*Mart with your ice cream. I think I fooled them by not wearing a mask. Earth is ripe for invasion, my Lord; they have cookies, too!
