Getting into cycling as an adult is no easy task. Gone are the days of lopsided helmets, loose chains, dodgy air pressure and exclamations of “look mum, no hands!” before charging headfirst into a hedgerow.
The two-wheeled sport requires a whole lot more gear and more of an idea when taken seriously in adult life. From one-piece cycling suits to aerodynamic helmets and clip-in shoes, mastering the sport can require a lot of stuff. That’s not to say that you need all the equipment in order to become a better cyclist, but hi-tech bits and bobs certainly help with performance.
