Product Information

Lighter garments are also recommended, and particularly suit hotter climates, purely to reduce the amount you sweat. And of course, light-coloured clothes will make any stains and puddle splashes that bit harder to disguise. Bib shorts are far from being a necessity, but they may be more comfortable around the waist and aid diaphragmatic breathing. They also keep the shorts hoisted up and the pad in place. Insulated versions, borrowed from the worlds of hiking and climbing, are designed for long-distance rides where the weather serves up a range of conditions. Sort of like commuting in spring. Summer commuting is a great time to take advantage of the extended hours of daylight, riding the long way home and exploring new roads. If you do this, you'll want to bring your trusty vest again, just in case the temperatures drop.

PNW has been careful not to make them too baggy. With some shorts, their gross bagginess can leave a heft of material to flap about but the Shuttle strikes a great balance between super fitting, and baggy. This leaves enough room and fabric to move around in, without surplus ripe for snagging on foliage, or the nose of your saddle. It was only after spending a few weeks riding my Brompton in jeans to Rouleur HQ that I was really able to appreciate the need for a versatile pair of commuter trousers. The distance isn’t far enough to warrant wearing proper cycling kit, but far enough to feel uncomfortable in inflexible trousers not made for riding. Classic cycling gear (which really means cycle-sport gear) fits tightly because if you want to go fast, your biggest enemy is the air. To cut through it, you want clothing that flaps around as little as possible, and that hugs your (hopefully) lean and lithe body.The Endura Hummvee Hoodie is a smart leisure option for when you need a warm layer to keep out the chill. It's comfy, not too heavy, and means you can stay loyal to branded bike clothing without standing out on civvy street. Best of all, though, if you need to hop in the saddle, it's built to offer a bit of performance there, too. He was heavily involved in the mountain bike boom of the late 1980s as a racer, team manager and race promoter, and that led to writing for Mountain Biking UK magazine shortly after its inception. He got the gig by phoning up the editor and telling him the magazine was rubbish and he could do better. Rather than telling him to get lost, MBUK editor Tym Manley called John’s bluff and the rest is history.

The legs are cut long, edging into three-quarter length territory, which adds weather protection and stops spray from creeping up your leg. They’re also pre-shaped for a better fit on the bike. There's something special and charming about setting of on those crisp mornings with a hot shower and a cup of coffee waiting for you on arrival. And if you race or are preparing for a event in the ensuing months, winter commuting is a chance to catch your potential competitors snoozing. Remember the adage: winter miles, summer smiles. So what do you need to keep riding when the mercury plummets? Extremely well made; the Velocio Ultralight Cycling Bib Shorts are perfect for commuting in a heatwave. Again, they include reflective details for night riding. 15.
