Cycling Clothing, Helmets & Equipment
The Clothes you wear when cycling will be dependent mainly on the weather. You will have to check the weather forecast before going cycling. The clothing you choose to wear will also depend on what level you want to cycle at and in what events you are participating. If you are just out for a nice quiet cycle in the country the clothing will probably be completely different to taking part in a road race. I will try and explain some of the different types of clothing and give you some ideas on what you will want to buy to go cycling.
Cycling Shorts - if you are going to do a lot of cycling you will need a pair of cycling shorts, these are specially designed to stop saddle sores or chaffing when cycling over long distances or long periods of time.
Sunglasses or Riding Goggles/Glasses - are also a good idea to stop sun glaring into your eyes or insects flying into your eyes, if you ride off road, stones can be thrown upwards towards the eyes, so to stop injury and accidents eye protection is essential.
Jerseys - cycling jerseys are formfitting for aerodynamics and normally have a pocket at the back for storing other things in. you can wear them over or under a tee-shirt. It's best to have layers of clothing to take on and off depending how hot or cold you become.
More Essential Cycling Clothes
Helmet - A good cycling helmet can save your life.Gloves - not only for cold weather but as a protection to the hands if you have an accident. They also improve grip and absorb shocks if riding off road.
Jacket - A water-proof jacket provides comfort in cold weather and protection against the rain when its not dry. They come in lightweight shower proof types and the more heavyweight water-resistant and wind proof designs.
Tights - not as you would expect ladies tights but a tight fitting pair of long tracksuit style trousers they come in two main types lightweight and a more heavier insulated type.
Arm and Leg warmers - these can be used when its very cold and can just be pulled off quickly and stored once you have warmed up.
Shoes - cycling shoes come in all sorts of types and dependant on what type of cycling you will be doing will depend on the shoe you will need to buy.
All the clothing mentioned above is entirely a personal choice for you to make you can have as little or as much as you want, it only depends on how much you want to spend. Cycling clothing comes in various qualities so make sure you spend your money wisely.
GOOD Cycling, maybe see you on the road.
