It seems as though there are more and more people taking to two wheels, be it as a mode of regular transport for daily commutes or just for pleasure. People often say that cycling is very much like a drug - once you start, it's easy to become obsessive about it. Most people will start off with a very basic bike and decide from there if they want to pursue mountain or road biking as their hobby.
As with most hobbies, they can soon become quite expensive. If you've got the cycling 'bug' you will find that there is so much more that you can buy in the way of clothing and accessories. It doesn't just stop at the essentials (bike, helmet, lights etc). The outdoors market is really quite substantial in the UK and a large portion of that market is dedicated to cycling. Cycling clothing comes in sorts of shapes and sizes and there is a great deal to choose from.
Sure, as long as you have the essentials, you'll be fine to head out on your bike in pretty much any clothes that you can find. However, as you head out on longer trips and you become more passionate about cycling, you'll find yourself starting to look for specially designed clothes that make cycling an altogether more comfortable experience.
Companies have created all manner of clothing, specifically designed for cycling. Not only is it designed for cycling, it is often designed for a specific type of cycling, such as MTB or road cycling. Everyone will recognise the stereotypically tight shorts worn by road cyclists. These are often made of lycra and are perfect for road cycling as they are streamline, comfortable and provide enough warmth. There are so many products ranging in price, from the simple and cheap cycling short to something more professional like the Sportful Bodyfit.
For mountain bikers, there are totally different products tos be found on the market. MTB products tend to be harder wearing, heat retention, durability and being waterproof being the key elements of their design. There are so many makes and models of clothing such as waterproof jackets, shorts and rucksacks that are specifically designed for MTB riders.
