How does groomed cycling work?
SO, that looks groomed!' or 'That's really very un-groomed!' Statements often used by the fashion police in the cycling peloton. There is no accounting for taste, and judgements are often made based solely on aesthetic criteria. So we are not going to tell you what to wear. Everyone can define their own style and any style can look sophisticated.
Anyone can ride in a fashionable way. You just need to take the time and pay attention to your clothes and equipment.
To help you with this five simple tips:
1. Clean gear!
A clean bike is also a fast bike and always good for morale, so always leave with a clean bike. Clean your bike immediately after training. This is good for your equipment and prevents you from grabbing your bike out of the shed to start training and your bike turns out to be dirty. But also no dirty saddle bag on your bike or the frame plate from the classic race you rode last weekend.
Make sure your bike is always clean when you go cycling!
2. Replace or repair broken or worn gear.
A torn handlebar tape, a split brake cable or overshoe with a broken zip. Being economical with your equipment is obviously important to avoid breakdowns and it also shows that you pay attention to how you look on the bike.
