Gloves and Coats

[Long in the tooth]

I ride my bike to work on a daily basis.  At this time of the year, the weather is getting a bit cool, but not enough to wear a coat.  As far as I know, we're not allowed to wear gloves without a coat.  Has this changed, or our we, as my wife and children say, "just stupid"?

I'll go along with your wife and tell you to follow her advice and that of axeman.    ;D

We should clarify, is that a bicycle or motorbike? Cause there is a slight difference. For both you are authorized to wear helmets and glove classed as safety eqiupment for riding. Bicycling, as it is a physical activity, and hence you get a little sweaty, I asked and got authorization to wear our Ruck PT strip (cbt boots, cbt pant, unit top) to bike back and forth to work. Once there, I can change into proper uniform with a change of shirt. Being able to wear a long sleeve PT shirt alleviated my need to wear the CADPAT coat on my bike.
