Those new to cycling are sometimes reluctant to wear lycra. Sure, riding around town for 30min is okay in a pair of jeans, but things can start to get a bit tender after that. Cyclists riding longer distances choose to wear lycra 'kit' because it’s far more comfortable and kind to a rider’s more sensitive areas than normal clothing. It makes a HUGE difference to the riding experience.
Not sure about what kit to wear? Like all subcultures cycling has some basic rules relating to the style of cycling attire. We'll get to that in a later post called 'Lookin' PRO'. In the meanwhile, keep an eye out for updates on the new Planex kit.
