I've changed it to 'help you to be safe and practical'.
Anyway, all this is dependant on where you live. If I lived in the East End and rode to work then you would barely need wheels - because its so flat - let alone any 'base layers'.
But some of us have to do proper riding or actively seek out hills for fitness. You can get fucking ill from sweat chills in winter months. This board, it seems to me, has people from both camps.
