So, I bought my first bike, what gear do I need?

Stay tuned for the "I just got fired for not wearing pants to work" thread.

aaaaagggghhhh...mental image!


i picked up a pair of Alpinestars Twin pants (discontinued, so i got them for $150) which basically look like leather jeans with some armor in the knee on the inside. they're straight-legged, not cut like track pants. they fit over my work pants and when i arrive, my work pants aren't wrinkled at all. good stuff. sometimes i'll just fold my work clothes, put them in my backpack, and change when i'm at work.
