Thankfully for us, bicycle wear has come on leaps and bounds since Frederick “Freddie” Grubb won the silver medal for road cycling in the 1912 Olympics held in Stockholm.
But with so much choice out there, we thought it best to call on British Military Fitness guru Bonnie Hatcher to give us her top style tips on what wear from specialist sportswear brand Dare 2B.
So Bonnie, how should we maintain cycle-chic style be it city, track or off road?
“Time-trialling along tarmac, off-roading amongst the leafy canopies or commuting through the city, no matter where you are, so long as you’re on two wheels you’ll love what we have in store for you! Dare 2B have cycling gear for every occasion, all with high technical-specs to ensure you don’t just look great but feel great too.
Off-road regalia – For Her
Women’s Neon Pink Evident II Jacket – A thin, lightweight jacket is a real sports-wardrobe staple. Add or remove layers beneath depending on the weather, then throw this over the top in windy or rainy conditions. The colour is absolutely gorgeous too.
City cycling – For Her
Women’s Blue Revel Half Zip Jersey Top – This is a great lightweight top with a flattering fit and extra reflective detailing. Perfect for the daily commute or long summer rides.
Race & pace – For Her
Women’s Black/White/Blue AEP Spinspeed – I love everything about this top – the classic scooped hem, feminine fit, awesome design and really high technical specification. It’s a steal at just £18
Men’s Black Fuseline II Midlayer Stretch Top – It’s important to choose a moisture-wicking fabric to keep you cool and dry, no matter how long you’re riding for. In addition, the mesh venting zones keep you feeling fresh.
City cycling – For Him
Men’s Yellow Fuser Half Zip Top – Remember, danger never takes a day off, so the bright colour and reflective strips ensure you stand out on the road. Safety first!
Race & pace – For Him
Men’s White AEP Rouleur Full Zip Top – When switching between top handlebars and your drop-downs your body position changes on the bike – this high-stretch top works with your body to ensure a smooth transition, seamlessly stretching with you as you move.”
Great, thanks Bonnie!
