just wear the jacket all the time... that's what i did so far, of course when summer heat comes, i might hang it at the back of the seat a well.

what's killing me is my gaerne shockwave racing boots... it's hard walking around the campus w/ that thing. :laughing: but at least, my feet up to my shins is gonna be well protected.

i wish i had a locker at school to store my helmet and another pair of shoes.

and draggin jeans is great. both on and off the bike.

You kin do it, we've got classrooms like that where I go to.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Another way you can stash your jacket is to get a nice long cable for your helmet lock on your bike, and then thread the cable through your helmet and through the sleeves of your jacket securing both to your bike

That's just asking for someone to come over and mess with your jacket and bike. He's at a college, and leaving it on your bike is like saying, "HEY LOOK, free leather jacket." Someone will come over and mess around with it, maybe wreck it trying to get it off.

I don't know. I'll work something out. But I really think if I draped it over the back of my seat it'd be just an inconvenience for the person behind me. We get little legroom as it is.

Who cares about the guy behind you!?!?!?!? Vermilion at least if a midget decides to head butt you it will be okay, just keep the boots on!
