What should a beginner wear for cycling?

Beginners looking for cycling gear should aim for form-fitting clothes made for biking, with sweat-wicking fabric and ventilation to keep you dry and comfortable. Cycling jackets often have pockets on the back to keep small items out of your way. Cycling tights, cycling shorts or bib shorts that are fitted are less likely to get caught in a wheel. A cycling jersey, tank top or cropped tee can help facilitate airflow. A sports bra with medium to high support is also well suited to cycling.

Are shoes necessary for cycling?

Shoes with a stiff outsole are necessary for cycling. There are several types of cycling shoes, depending on the type of pedal on your bike. A casual sneaker with a stiff sole to push down the pedal will work for everyday cycling.
