@MLD,

I would suggest you're the one making "blanket statements." I said nothing about wearing "full leathers" or that you would "die" if you didn't. Appropriate dress can prevent or minimize injury, discomfort, multiple visits to doctors, time off work for recovery, etc. I would recommend a jacket (there are air mesh models that flow air very well), decent gloves, jeans, sturdy shoes or boots that cover the ankles and won't fly off. Another thing to consider is that bicycles don't weigh 200-500 pounds, carry flammable fluids, and it's no biggie if your bicycle falls on you. In short, I encourage people to wear the gear appropriate for job.
