Many bike riders spend a huge amount of money on new clothing every year in an effort to keep up with the latest trends and fashions and to benefit from new items promising to make you more comfortable, recover more quickly or go faster on your bike.
But while what's hot right now is ever-changing, the 'what not to wear' section of the cycling clothing market remains pretty much the same from year to year.
The video below explores some of the no-no's you should keep away from; with tongue ensconced firmly in cheek.
Some of the areas explored, which also cover commuter cycling, include:
- Going sockless
- Full face helmets
- Super hero kit
- National or World champ’s jersey
- Compression socks
- Commuting in a suit
- Rock star accessories
- The Onesie
- Bib shorts only; no jersey
- Speedos
