Why not, if they can afford it?? 2 pieces are meant for the street. If I was going on a long ride I'd be more concerned with my girl's safety than mine. Who knows, maybe they had been out all day...
If you've never worn a proper 2 piece which I'm guessing you haven't, you have no idea how much more comfortable it makes a long ride by acting like a brace and reducing the fatigue on your body especially when sitting in a sports position.
Dude, that's straight dumbass logic. Of course it all depends on circumstances but the difference is something is nearly entirely preventable whereas the other is not. You can't stop someone crashing into your car, but you can at least be wearing a seatbelt so maybe you don't go flying through the windshield...same idea. You might not be able to prevent your fall but at least you can mitigate the damage and get back to riding as soon as you pick your *** up and dust yourself off rather than being road meat.
Its a little bit our business, just a little when our tax dollars are paying for these idiots when they'd be fine had they been wearing something decent. You went down last season at what 40-50 km/h? Your gloves fell apart...call them defective or whatever you want, bottom line is they did their job. How the hell do you think your skin would have fared had you been wearing none?
