Bicycle Riding with backpack shirtless?

Question

Do you guys think it is trashy for me to bicycle with a backpack shirtless. Im a 24 year old guy who bikes to work every day about 30minutes each way. I need a way to carry lunch to work as well as sometimes things like papers etc but if i bicycle with a shirt on and wear a backpack i get really sweaty. If i dont wear a shirt and just wear the backpack I still sweat but its not as bad and I can just put a shirt on when I get there. What do you guys think?

Answer 1

I've considered the same thing.  I'm probably going to do it.  Just not to work or I'm going to put my shirt on well before I might see my boss or any of his henchmen.

Answer 2

I don't see anything wrong with it. I can relate to your problem as I live in Florida and cycling anywhere can make you sweat. You could also consider a cycling jersey as opposed to shirtless. They are well ventilated and you can switch into a shirt when you arrive. If you don't personally care, I say just go shirtless. I ride shirtless sometimes.

Answer 3

depends where you work and dont worry about what other people think

Answer 4

Why not? I would go ahead with shirtless if it is more comfortable. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Answer 5

It "seems" tasteless, but I don't know why.  I do it sometimes.  Just make sure you don't sunburn.

Answer 6

who cares

Answer 7

i see lots of people ride with backpacks shirtless

Answer 8
