There are\u00a0sets of dressing rules to follow in any sport you get yourself involved in, so also is cycling. Therefore, to avoid being the odd one while cycling, it is advisable to follow the dressing rules that come with cycling; else a fashion disaster might occur.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, to look professional and be a master of the\u00a0two-wheel drive, there are some\u00a0professional fashion rules every cyclist should know and imbibe.<\/p>\n
Having\u00a0hairy legs might be\u00a0awesome but\u00a0definitely not for a cyclist. If you want to take cycling as an exercise, you should consider\u00a0shaving your\u00a0hairy leg; else you may\u00a0make\u00a0your riding\u00a0a\u00a0strenuous one.<\/p>\n
Having\u00a0a shaven leg will help to have easy access to clean any gravel that might be lingering on your skin and also show how toned and tanned your muscles are.<\/p>\n
Another common mistake most newbies\u00a0make is trying to incorporate\u00a0the\u00a0dressing style worn by footballers into cycling. Wearing short is certainly not acceptable in cycling because it will only portray you as an unserious cyclist who doesn\u2019t know what cycling entails.<\/p>\n
In cycling, it is imperative to put fashion aside, to avoid looking like a clown and put on the necessary wears required of you as a cyclist.<\/p>\n
Most\u00a0newbies in cycling\u00a0do not always\u00a0see it as a duty to know the rules and regulation attached to cycling before venturing into it. Although, wearing underwear under Lycra may appear to be immodest and unfashionable, but paying attention\u00a0to fashion\u00a0will not have any effect\u00a0on an\u00a0on-bike comfort.<\/p>\n
Though having an extra layer of\u00a0the\u00a0fabric means an increase in\u00a0comfort, but this doesn\u2019t apply to\u00a0cycling. Therefore, you should consider ditching your pant and using\u00a0good short\u00a0which will make\u00a0your experience in cycling worthwhile and also\u00a0increase your on-bike comfort.<\/p>\n
One important thing to avoid as a cyclist is a mismatch between your team kit and bike to avoid being scorn by regular roadies. A recent study shows that middle-aged men in Lycra known as\u00a0MAMILs, as find a replacement for golf through cycling and their involvement in the world of cycling has led to a rise in cycling.<\/p>\n
However, one\u00a0mistake made by\u00a0MAMIL is in the procurement of their kit and bike.\u00a0MAMILs are known for buying any shiny bikes they lay their hands\u00a0on without putting into consideration whether\u00a0they\u00a0match their\u00a0kits or not.<\/p>\n
Hence, try as much as possible to avoid this, for you not to appear odd out of your cyclists\u2019 counterpart.<\/p>\n
This\u00a0is mostly directed to mountain bikers. Though\u00a0baggy shorts are\u00a0worn mainly by off-road riders because it is the perfect fit, this is not true for bikers that are involved in road cycling.\u00a0A tight-hugging kit is the most suitable for road cyclists.<\/p>\n
Though this may make you look strange,\u00a0but it\u2019s better to make your comfortability a top priority.<\/p>\n
Another thing worthy to note when it comes to fashion in cycling is knowing the fact that your cycling kit should always remain as one and shouldn\u2019t be put on as\u00a0normal gear. One common thing amongst cyclist nowadays is seeing their cycling kit as\u00a0causal wear which they can wear as they deem fit.<\/p>\n
However, this is doesn\u2019t speak well of you as a professional cyclist,\u00a0and you must not be found guilty of such.<\/p>\n
Another essential fashion aide is\u00a0in the\u00a0type of shoes you wear as a cyclist. You should know that mountain bike shoes are entirely different\u00a0from off-road shoes. So, to portray yourself as a professional cyclist, you must be able\u00a0to\u00a0differentiate the difference between the two clearly and know the type of\u00a0shoe to opt for based on the kind cyclist you are.<\/p>\n
It is much\u00a0easier to get oil off your bare legs than\u00a0on socks. However, most\u00a0cyclists do not always follow this as it has become a trending thing in the cycling world of today to put on long socks.<\/p>\n
But this might not be the best since\u00a0you will be stained by the oil on your bike\u2019s chain. So why not put on\u00a0short socks, to avoid going through unnecessary stress and it can also be a way of showing that your perfect calf muscles\u00a0and calf-tattoo.<\/p>\n
Cycling is an\u00a0interesting\u00a0sport if you can follow the rules and regulation guiding it especially\u00a0the fashion rules that\u00a0need to be adhered to give you the maximum comfort as a cyclist.<\/p>\n
