Summer Riding Gear

Wearing the right bike gear

If you don’t have any summer gear it’s probably time to invest. Riding in cold weather gear when it’s hot will get you very uncomfortable; you won’t think clearly, and you definitely won’t enjoy the experience. Riding in t-shirt, shorts, and sandals can go from “oops” to worst case scenario in a heartbeat, so pass on that idea. Good summer riding gear makes the best sense and can fit every budget. A great rule is “wearing the right gear.”

Proper summer gear will keep you cool without compromising on safety; shorter-cuffed mesh gloves can still have PU knuckle protection and thick pads on the palm, riding jeans offer a much cooler ride than leathers and better protection lined with kevlar plus CE Armor—-like ours!   Mesh jackets are much breezier than leathers, look great, and still have elbow, shoulder and back protection at the very least.
