Cycling Shorts, Tights & Trousers - What To Wear When Riding Your Bike
In mild weather, clothing is mainly a matter of convenience.
Yes you want to wear shoes
that are comfortable to pedal in, and yes you don't clothing that
is likely to tangled up with your bike chain, but aside from that
you can pretty much wear whatever you like.
On the other hand, if the weather is very hot, very cold or wet,
then you need to take your choice of clothing more seriously,
especially as regards those clothes that you choose to wear on
your lower half.
Cycling shorts are quite simply one of the best options, and something
you really need to try. Don't be deterred by the fact that they look
ridiculous in the shop, or that you feel odd (because of all the padding)
wearing them the first time. The thing to remember is that they will
keep you comfortable in the saddle, even if you ride your bike all day.
Surely avoiding what could be a literal pain in the bottom is worth it?
Furthermore if you're embarrassed about the amout that cycling shorts reveal,
or if you find their tight fit to be unflattering, you can always wear baggy
shorts or a skirt on top of them.
Cycling shorts are usually specifically designed for men's and women's
different figures, but beyond that the choice can be quite confusing.
The trouble is that expensive shorts often look almost identical
to the cheapest ones in the store. Closer examination will however
reveal the differences - the fabric - more expensive shorts are generally
made from more breathable materials to help keep you cool and dry -
and the sophistication of the padding.
If you're commuting to work, you probably want to change when you arrive.
Apart from not forcing your colleagues to endure a sweaty smell, cycling
shorts probably don't look professional in the office and indeed you may
not feel comfortable wearing them all day. If your employer provides
changing facilities and showers you can use those, otherwise it'll have
to be a quick change in the lavatory.
On cold days, cycling shorts by themselves are probably not enough to
keep you warm, even if you cycle as fast as you can. For this reason,
you may wish to consider tights, and if you do wear tights, remember they
should go on top of the cycling shorts, and not underneath. In very
cold weather, you should consider wearing tights with a fleecy lining,
and take care to ensure that your ankles are covered even when your knees
are bent (if necessary get longer tights).
In wet weather, you'll probably want to try to keep dry, so in these
conditions you can consider wearing baggy waterproof trousers over your shorts.
Be sure to choose trousers that are breathable, or you'll just end-up
horribly sweaty.
Here are some cycling shorts:
