 People have a love-hate relationship with Lycra. Either you love to wear it or you're hating on people who do. The average cycling outfit consists of a zip-up jersey with rear pockets and a pair of padded cycling shorts. Together, this is called a kit. A step up from the shorts are cycling bibs, which make you look like an old-timey wrestler, but it keeps the padding in place during long rides. One positive about wearing a kit is the ability to carry your tools and accessories in your back pockets. You can fit all of your tools, a spare tube, and snacks into the back of a jersey. Lycra is comfortable, like a second skin, and when you're spending an entire afternoon in the saddle, you need as much comfort as possible. Lycra is also aerodynamic. It cuts down on the wind drag. You'll feel a difference, especially if you're used to wearing baggy t-shirts when you ride. Lycra is a technical fabric that wicks away any sweat so you'll stay cooler during training. Also, remember that confidence is everything. If you look fast, you'll feel fast. Try it out for yourself. Thanks for checking out another episode of Pure Fix TV.
