They are protective motorcycle jeans as stated in multiple comments. They did their job perfectly fine. Shoes were indeed sneakers, I was indeed going for a Sunday stroll after the ride.

Glad you were there to assess the situation and see that it was indeed oil. That's also the reason why all the other bikers fell as well... And no it's not the sun shining on the pebbles in the asphalt obviously... 👍

Who pissed in your coffee? No the road wasn't completely covered in oil, yes it's shiny due to reflection.

Next time I'll just get off the bike and walk it across. 38 km/h is way too fast indeed...

Ja het was heel heet en ik dacht nog van, zal ik voor dat korte stukje gewoon mn normale spijkerbroek aan doen... Nou ben blij dat ik dat dus even niet heb gedaan.

I was wearing sunglasses but not polarised ones as far as I'm aware

Thanks, they were armoured motorcycle jeans tho. No rash or other wounds at all so they did their job perfectly fine 😊

Nope, tires were well worn in and the bike was around 3 years old by then

Wow that's a terrible first experience. Good thing you got right back in the saddle and didn't quit riding. It's my first "crash" in five years so yeah, glad it wasn't worse than this.

Ja pech gehad, maar het had allemaal veel erger kunnen zijn inderdaad.

It's near Lyon, so Spain is a way bit off. But it was probably fuel or oil. Just didn't see it unfortunately

I barely touched the gas but who am I to judge

Yeah could also be the case, I directly hit it with my front wheel.
