What to wear on the bicycle

Wearing “weather appropriate” cycling gear is an absolute game changer for overall health and happiness on a bicycle

And please note

These are all premium brands (with a premium price point). If you would like to save a bit and test out a few different brands at a lower price point, I highly recommend shopping at Sports Basement or your local bike shop.

Also, I am the founder and creator of Redfrog Athletics, so although I do believe in all of the Merino products, I am a bit biased.
