Share:

Many foreign tourists stay for a long time in Bali and use motorbikes as their main mode of transportation.

Motorbikes in Bali are not just practical and easy to handle in traffic, they’re also a budget-friendly option. This is likely why many foreign tourists, who often stay for extended periods, find them to be the ideal mode of transportation. The frequent and lengthy rides in Bali are helping them acclimatize to the local weather.

It’s no secret that Bali, located in tropical Indonesia, is quite hot. For locals, it’s common to see bikers protecting themselves by wearing long pants and jackets.

Well, one of the viral videos uploaded by foreign tourists in Bali also shows the evolution of their attire when riding a motorcyle in Bali.

It’s fascinating to see the evolution of the tourists’ attire in Bali. They started with casual, short dresses on their first day, but as they spent more time in Bali, they began to protect themselves from the weather by wearing jackets and long pants.

The video uploaded by the TikTok account @aussiemuminbali was filled with comments confirming that the jacket and long pants outfit is perfect for riding a motorcycle in Bali.

“The sun is painful! And there’s no sunscreen better than wearing covered clothing 🤣,” wrote a netizen.

Another netizen wrote, “This is so right 🤣🤣🤣.”

Indeed, one trick to avoid getting burnt and striped skin on the road is to wear a jacket or any comfortable outerwear.

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.
