Alan is a keen cyclist and guest blogger writing a series for us called ‘Cycling at 50’. You can see previous blogs in this series here <\/a> . <\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n

I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve all heard of MAMILs (Middle Aged Men In Lycra), a sometimes derogatory term for a probably overweight middle aged man who\u2019s trying to do something about being overweight and middle-aged but wears unflattering cycling attire. The reason for that is simple: It works, it\u2019s comfortable and it\u2019s efficient. People don\u2019t cycle long distances in jeans – try it, you\u2019ll find out why before you promptly nip out and buy some lycra longs <\/a> and some soothing cream! I\u2019m not a big fan of lycra but if I\u2019m not in shorts, I\u2019m in a pair of cycle trousers <\/a> .<\/p>\n

Top Tip: DOnt forget your helmet – we have a wide range of kids and adult bicycle helmets <\/a> .<\/p>\n

The clothes maketh the cyclist<\/h2>\n

Like all good couture collections(!) my gear is seasonal, although only for 3 seasons: Winter thermal clothing <\/a> , Spring\/Autumn, and those 3 days of summer when it\u2019s hot! What to wear depends on temperature and you, so some experimentation might be required to get it right. I run a little hot so my clobber tends to be lighter. Being too sweaty will feel clammy and horrible so everything should be wicking and breathable with underarm vents\/mesh if not. Here\u2019s a wee table on what I wear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/th>\nDry<\/th>\nRainy<\/th>\nLegs<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Summer<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Warm<\/td>\nBaggy Short Sleeve Top<\/td>\nSee Warmish\/Rainy<\/td>\nBaggy Shorts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Spring\/Autum\/Rest of Summer<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Warmish<\/td>\n Long sleeve cycling top <\/a> \u00a0(or\u00a0 s <\/a> hort sleeve plus\u00a0arm warmers)<\/td>\n Wool baselayer <\/a> \u00a0and\u00a0 waterproof cycling jacket <\/a><\/td>\n Shorts <\/a> \u00a0or maybe\u00a0 bib tights <\/a> \u00a0if wet<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Coldish<\/td>\n Wool baselayer <\/a> \u00a0with\u00a0 long sleeve top <\/a> \u00a0or jacket<\/td>\n Long sleeve top <\/a> \u00a0and\u00a0 waterproof jacket <\/a><\/td>\n Bib tights <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Winter<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Cold<\/td>\n Wool baselayer <\/a> \u00a0with\u00a0 long sleeve top <\/a> \u00a0and\u00a0 waterproof jacket <\/a><\/td>\n Wool baselayer <\/a> \u00a0with\u00a0 long sleeve top <\/a> \u00a0and\u00a0 waterproof <\/a><\/td>\n Bib tights <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

In winter, the difficulty is your extremities; add in a pair of\u00a0 gloves <\/a> , a\u00a0 neck gaiter\/warmer\/buff <\/a> \u00a0and for the coldest days, a skullcap\/bandana or buff for under your\u00a0 helmet <\/a> . Pulling your neck gaiter up around your face and ears is great at keeping the chill off. Pick up some specific thermal clothing <\/a> , you won’t regret it.<\/p>\n

Most of my cycling kit is getting on a bit (kinda like me) but there are plenty of items out there with similar features so here\u2019s what I find works:<\/p>\n

Long Sleeve Baselayer <\/strong> \u00a0\u2013 Merino wool every time; wicks great, doesn\u2019t smell, warm when wet. I never wear synthetic baselayers anymore.<\/p>\n

Tops <\/strong><\/a> \u00a0\u2013 Wicking, zip at the neck for ventilation. My short sleeve is loose fitting and very airy, add some arm warmers if cooler. My long sleeve is a little fleecy and a little windproof.<\/p>\n

Jackets <\/strong><\/a> \u00a0\u2013 I wear a dry jacket which is an Endura Windchill II, windproof at the front but ridiculously breathable on the back and works great. It can\u2019t be a unique idea but it is genius! I do love\u00a0 Endura <\/a> , they\u2019re a great Scottish company making quality products which have never let me down! For good quality waterproof cycling clothing <\/a> , you are going to have to spend a bit of money I\u2019m afraid, go for breathable and\/or under-arm vented. It\u2019ll be money well spent!<\/p>\n

\"short-b-endura-hummvee-short.jpg\" Shorts <\/a> \u00a0and\u00a0 longs <\/a><\/strong> \u00a0\u2013 A word on padded shorts\/longs, which is always an uncomfortable topic\u2026! I don\u2019t use them anymore, even on big trips. I have a couple of pairs of padded shorts but after breaking my bum back into cycling I find them uncomfortable. You may want to use them so some tight cycling shorts or undershorts to wear underneath. You should be able to dispense with them at some point. I got a pair of\u00a0Endura Hummvee shorts\u00a0last summer and they are great, since they came with a removable liner.<\/p>\n

My bib longs are a good few years old now and owe me nothing. They\u2019re super comfortable, stay in place thanks to the bib and stirrups, and keep you warm in all weathers. Stirrups seem less popular now and I worry a bit about the longevity of silicon ankle grips, but time will tell. I\u2019m not keen on \u00be length trousers, they seem to keep catching on my bottle cage\/pump when I get up out the saddle and I\u2019ve not tried any of the newer baggier style full-length trousers yet.<\/p>\n

Misc items <\/strong> \u00a0\u2013\u00a0 Shoes <\/a> , helmets, gloves,\u00a0 glasses <\/a> \u00a0are all down to personal preference. You should try them on and\/or ask for advice so get down to your Local Bike Shop (LBS) where they are always happy to help. When buying bike kit I always like to do it in person; I want to check the fit and feel and function of the item so I tend not to buy too much online and get myself along to my LBS instead.<\/p>\n

Well, never saw myself as a fashion blogger, but the next instalment is a bit more fun: Bike and workshop kit!<\/p>\n
