Hi all,

Just come into work for the first time on my bike this morning! been great :-) I got changed in the cyclist changing area (I'm lucky with where I work, they have a lot of facilities)

I'm just wondering what you lot do when you go out in respect to clothing? i.e. I'm in full leathers, because I'm new to biking, I just don't want to take any risks at all! I bought a 30 litre back pack but there is no way my leathers will fit in there (I doubt even my trousers alone would fit in there!)

So say you're going out for a nice meal in a restaurant, what would you do? go and get changed in the toilets? only wear a helmet, gloves and Jacket? I'm going to be with only a bike until end of September os need to figure out a way around all this!

My current plans are if I'm going with a friend, go to their house, get changed then they take me to the restaurant!

This wont be possible on Thursday, as I'm going out with people from work, if I leave my bike and get a lift my bike will get locked in at work, so I need to ride to the restaurant, but I haven't a clue yet what I'm going to do when I turn up in full leathers!
