As road cyclists, we are used to being in lycra, but what should we wear whilst cycling in the city? It can often be tricky, especially if you don’t have anywhere to change when you reach your destination, be it for work or shopping. Wearing bright colours help you to be seen by other road users and can help improve safety. We also discuss what type of clothing you should wear, including the type of fabric and it’s weather durability. Once you’ve used our top tips, you’ll feel and cool and comfortable when riding in the city!

What do you wear when cycling through the city?
what is Emma's bike called?
No amount of reflecting material can make you noticed to a driver looking down at their phone.
I bike to work every day. I don’t own a car so I go everywhere by bike. Lycra everyday. Lycra everywhere.
Should you wear underwear or does the no underwear rule also apply
Just getting back in cycling as a college student. Got a nice Montague paratrooper and just getting used to the saddle.
This is what I was looking for.
I like how they talk about bright colours, but in a same time they are wearing the blandest stuff they could find. Do as I say, not as I do, I guess.
Why are you using cycles that do not meet the construction and use regulations for road cycles? Doesn't set a good example – should you refilm this using road legal cycles?
: )
Good tip to know. All this time I've been wearing my work clothes when cycling and by the time I got there, I'm sweating a lot. Thanks you for that 👍
I’ve never seen this woman in any uploads before
Heyy bees wont be a problem, what are the chances, leave the girls alone 😂
'true scott man, please take note" 🤣🤣😂😂
the most replayed portion is when he pulls up his undies LOL!!😄
Are you from Bristol?
Fist bump to Si for that belt drive commuter bike 🤜🌟🤛
Works great just as it should
I recommend nice stretchy Rohan trousers; really comfortable on the bike, dry extremely quickly, and they last forever! Particularly if you tuck the bottoms into your socks, which I find better than carrying cycle clips or rolling the trouser leg up.
Oh, and only use a backpack if you want a sweaty back – otherwise get panniers. They hold more too.
Working in a production plant, I’m going to get all sweaty at work anyways so I still cycle hard in my normal work clothes
I live in a suburban area and its nearly summer here. During my daily commute, I will be biking at around 1-5pm in the afternoon and people will be wearing yellow vest and jackets and have 2-3 bike lights on, flashing in my face when the sun is at its highest point and its 70 degrees or 21C outside. Which is straight up ridiculous.
Why are cycling shorts so long?
I wish i lived in Amsterdam 😢
Wearing a skin suit, in the general public, is a good way to get a stranger s hand on your bum. Talk about awkward.
Do yall NOT wear knee pads? crazy bastard.
I actually never care what people wear, as long as they don’t care how I ride my bike wether a racer or a commuter bike, let people wear whatever they want, pretty sure any normal person knows how and what clothing they need for their daily missions. This feels like a bad commercial trying to sell you shit you actually don’t need.
Wasps and bees – YES. It happend to me once and it literally ruined my whole day. Good that I wasn't on the open road, coz that could end up worst.
I never wear lycra and cleats anyway. It's cringe.
God I love GCN videos.
