Bicycling Clothing Is Functional, Comfortable, And Fashionable

The most important function is to protect the rider from shock and vibration, the elements, and the effects of chaffing and perspiration. AND, do all of this while allowing for the maximum in freedom of movement.

It's a pretty tall order but bicycle clothing does the job very well. Even if your taste runs towards the more conservative styles and colors (which is often the case with boomers and seniors) there are still a lot of choices, so don't diapair.

Bicycle shorts Are padded in the seat to give added comfort. They have no seams where they would cause chaffing.

Bike jerseys are designed for freedom of movement and to wick sweat away from your body. They have pockets in the back for energy bars etc.

Cycling tights have all of the features that shorts do pluss the added length for cold weather rides.

Bicycle gloves protect your hands from shock and vibration but still breathe to eliminate sweat.

Cycling jackets are designed to seal in body heat and still breathe to prevent overheating. Most have zippered vents for added comfort.

Bicycle shoes have very stiff soles, for delivering power efficiently, as well as cleats that lock into clipless pedals. So, power is delivered to the pedals on the up-stroke as well as the down-stroke.

Cycling vests can keep you cool in the summer or warm in the winter.

Bicycling socks keep your feet cool and comfy.
