My Basic Cycle Clothing Guide in Colder Weather

posted on 8 January 2011 | posted in Recreation and Hobbies


Cycling is a lot of fun, but it's also very sweaty at times, and yet if you stop - and the weather's cold - you can quickly cool down and even become very cold. So what to do - what kind of cycle clothing to buy? First off, carry a decent sized backpack with cold-weather clothing like a cagoule, gloves and a hat if the weather is rather cold. You'll find the very act of cycling keeps you fairly warm, but you may need to wear some gloves as the extremities will still feel cold.

If you're too warm when cycling, adjust your clothing - too hot and you'll sweat a lot - and this sweat can make you feel very cold when you stop cycling. The key is to be able to adjust your clothing easily to make your cycling comfortable for you. You will quickly learn the best combinations based on the climate.
