It's taken the British a while, but suddenly cycling is really starting to take off in this country. Boosted by success in last summer's major cycling competitions, all kinds of people are getting a bike. For some people it's just a great way to commute, for others it's all about training rides and getting fitter. Either way it's great to see so many people giving cycling a go. In many ways it's the ideal way to get around a city. No traffic jams, expensive fares or pollution, plus it's a great way to get fit.

When it comes to buying a new bike, most people spend the vast majority of their time thinking about the machine itself. They don't give enough thought to, or set enough of their budget aside, for clothing and accessories. This is a big mistake. Clothing especially is hugely important. Cycling is fun and healthy, but riders are also exposed to the elements. They need to stay warm, dry and most importantly safe when they are on their bike.

Cycle clothes come in a range of styles and have been specially designed with bike riders in mind. Being seen is important. High visibility clothing helps drivers to see ...
... them. Cyclists are not always easy to spot, even with lights on, so clothing like this really helps anyone on a bike stay safe. When the rain comes down every rider needs a jacket. It's different being on a bike. Waterproofs need to be lightweight so they don't impede the rider. Then there are shorts and leggings. Those saddles can get uncomfortable after a while. Padding and protection really help.

Anyone looking to get themselves kitted out should check out retailers who specialise in cycling clothing UK. They'll have anything and everything that a rider could need to get started and keep the elements out.
