Must Have Should Have Nice to Have
MUST HAVES |
|
|---|---|
Rider KitHelmetProtect your noggin. Padded ShortsIf you're in it for the long haul padded shorts are a must. Stay comfy and prevent chaffing on long rides. GlovesIn warmer weather short finger gloves are the popular choice. Most have a padded leather or synthetic-leather palm and moisture-absorbing terry cloth for dabbing sweat or a runny nose. For colder weather a pair of wicking, breathable, full finger bike gloves are a must. JerseyLook sharp and stay comfortable while riding. With high-tech, breathable fabrics that wick moisture away from your body and allow maximum range of motion bike jerseys are a huge step up from riding in just a t-shirt. Cycling ShoesSure, you can ride a bike in just about any pair of shoes, but if you ride regularly you can benefit from shoes designed for bicycling.
