Bali motorcycle fashion tips
Here are some tips that you can use when riding motorbikes in Bali.
1. A jacket is the main protector when riding a motorcycle. Its function is to protect the body of the rider and passengers from the sun and wind. Make sure you wear a fitted jacket. Besides not hindering your movement, a fitted jacket also makes you look more stylish.
2. Wear comfortable clothes. Choose clothes that are suitable for driving, and do not neglect your safety and that of others because not all clothing models are safe to use when riding a motorcycle.
3. Avoid sandals and high heels. Make it a habit not to wear open footwear such as sandals, and also avoid high heels.
Don’t forget to wear a mask. It’s not just a fashion accessory, it’s a safety measure. A face mask or buff can help filter dust and pollution, ensuring a safer ride in Bali.
