If you're a keen cyclist, a quality pair of bib shorts are an essential piece of kit. These shorts have been designed by Petrichor Projects specifically for women.

A lightweight cycling waterproof is a useful item, both for commuting in the city but also for longer bike touring trips. This jacket from Showers Pass is a good option for both.

This rucksack from Osprey is ideal for mountain biking.

This is the kind of jacket you take on a bike ride when it's looking like it's going to be windy or showery. It's pretty lightweight (though not small enough to pack in your jersey back pocket) and showerproof, and has several vents to help stop you getting too sweaty (one across the back, and two zippable ones at your waist)

The Trail Access shorts are made of a highly stretchy, hard wearing quick drying material.

This a lightweight cycling specific waterproof jacket, made from the slightly stretchy Pertex Shield Air 3-layer fabric.

The bib shorts are made from a stretch lycra fabric (thick enough to give good coverage) with a women’s specific high density foam chamois pad.

Keeping the right temperature is important when cycling but can be different to manage in changing weather and terrain. This base layer from D2D Cycling Clothing is a great option to have!

Bib shorts and bib tights are often more comfortable to cycle in - especially on long rides - as you don't have a tight waistband. These winter tights from D2D Cycling Clothing are designed to keep you cycling during the coldest months.

Love cycling in the winter but struggle with the cold? This warm jacket from D2D Cycling Clothing might be the one for you!

It may be chilly outside, but I'm already planning my cycling adventures for 2024, and that means thinking about the kit I'll need. This is a bright and vibrant short sleeve jersey from Fat Lad At The Back for your warm weather rides (but fear not, long sleeve are also available)!

Want to get into cycling but finding it a bit… uncomfortable? Perhaps you’ve been pootling around locally on your bike but keen to try longer distances and wondering how to keep comfy?
