The road to stylish cycling clothing

Whether cycling in summer or winter, there are three things to keep in mind when shopping for cycling clothing - it should look stylish, it has to protect you from the elements and it must be comfortable. At Dare 2b, our collection of bike riding shorts, jerseys and jackets is not only fantastic at keeping you comfortable for the journey ahead, but they are bright and stylish too. While looking funky is important from a fashion point of view, those of you who cycle on roads will understand that when it comes to safety, the brighter you are the more visible you are likely to be to vehicles and pedestrians. All of our cycling clothing is also extremely affordable for the quality you receive, so you can be sure you will have plenty of cash leftover if you decide to stop for a cheeky pub lunch along the way! Start shopping today and hit the countryside or road knowing that you not only look good, but are protected too.

Padded cycling shorts - protect your assets,

One of our most popular items with guys is padded cycling shorts - and if you are male and regularly bike ride, you will understand why. When spending hours sitting on a saddle, you will not want any knocks, bruises or chaffing that could put paid to an otherwise enjoyable day out. This is why we advise men to buy padded cycling shorts to stay as comfortable as possible. It is also a good idea for men, women and children alike to wear shorts that are lightweight, stretchy and quick to dry, as there is nothing worse than being restricted by soggy and heavy cycling clothing. The same can be said for cycle jerseys. When outside, and especially in the UK, you need to prepare for sudden downpours and unfavourable weather at any time of the year. Your jersey should therefore be lightweight to enable you to easily move, while quick-drying fabric and vented sections can keep you cool, no matter how hard you work. If you get on your bike no matter what the weather, waterproof jackets and wind shells are a must, or you could soon find yourself too cold, wet and miserable to continue. This is especially important if you take bike rides in the countryside. Should the climate take a turn for the worse and you get stranded in the middle of nowhere, you could fall ill if you aren't wearing the right gear. Try to avoid cotton base layers, as these will retain moisture, lowering your body temperature as the water evaporates. Instead, synthetic materials like polyester absorb moisture, deflect it away from your body and can sometimes come with built-in bacterial protection to keep you smelling as fresh as possible. Getting your hands on cycling clothing that comes with reflective strips and a water-resistant finish should be something of a priority if you will at some point take to the saddle in the dark or during rainy weather.
