Bike clothing

Due to the higher speed, you feel the wind and the weather much more than when running, for example. Added to this is the fact that your race or training usually takes longer so you are therefore more likely to be exposed to changes in the weather. It is therefore all the more important that you are equipped for long descents and bad weather. It is easy to carry a rain jacket with you in your shirt pocket, for example.
