Do I need any special equipment?

19th February 2019

On cycling holidays special equipment is not necessary. It is best to wear brightly coloured clothes so you will be seen. Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely are good, particularly your legs. So avoid tight non-stretch trousers or jeans which have thick seams and can be uncomfortable. It’s better to wear layers, rather than one thick top. Suitable footwear, like trainers or something with rigid soles are good, A waterproof is a good idea.
