As a beginner on a budget I picked my kit from sale items and that means it looks like a skittle bag exploded on me. Not very aestetic, but it works :P. Great video!

A fascinating and expert easy-to- understand guide with no silly gimmicks, annoying music or irritating cutaways - just plain, simple advice and information expertly delivered.

I bought a road bike last year and shorts make a huge difference, even for short rides.

It's amazing you have close to 70, 000subs now. When I first saw your Channel you had only about 1200 subscribers! Even though that was a couple of years ago, I'm glad you two keep working on the channel! Your entire lifestyle is so interesting with the visas, nationalities, languages, jobs situationsよ..

[jolly]

Channel started out good and has gotten better over time! Great info and production (very professional), and we really appreciate how much you genuinely enjoy having bicycles in your life -- something the rubs off on your viewers. It’s obvious to me that a lot of work goes into publishing videos like this one.

[Jessilene]

I cycle for fun and a bit of exercise.

[SillyDaddyPH]

Love that cloth/poster of Unit 01. And that Survey Corps flag/thing, too!

Cruise is definitely a man of culture.

I think it’s been about 18 months since I wore cycling kit. All my rides have been local. I’ve settled on a 9 mile loop that’s the most car free I can find just to relax and keep fit. I think if I was on a road bike though, I would need to wear full kit even for short rides because the roads are so rough. Hopefully I’ll be able to go exploring again soon. Just need to wait for that second dose.

I rocked the bibs the first time.. it felt so natural, like I was meant to wear bibs.. another great video.👍👍

[symptomcp]

Thanks for this video! Most of the time I'll have to explain the same things over and over when my friends are considering to start cycling, now I'll just send 'em this instead. Cheers and ride safe!

You forgot to mention bike shoe covers. Another one is sleeveless windbreaker jackets.

From watching the last Tour of Flanders classics. All of the riders were wearing windbreaker jackets, arm sleeves, leg warmers and bike shoe covers. Since it was very cold when the race started. On the later parts of the race. The riders would peel away their extra clothing. Once the weather starts to get warmer. It was a fascinating scene to watch riders undressing while they continue to go racing.

I am your fan from Myanmar🇲🇲🇲🇲 keep going on...💪💪 One day i want to be a cyclic youtuber.

Best pair of shoes I can afford. Sidi mid to upper line up and composite soul. Best fit I can find. If shoes are kit that is. Thanks

[CanyonWanderer]

One other disadvantage of the bib-less shorts, when you have a bit of a belly, is it will slide down regularly

[Greg-zrwm]

I've been riding and commuting for years and pretty much always wear spandex. I'm sure I'm not much to look at but it is dang comfortable. LoL
I really prefer the full zipper jerseys, there is nothing worse then trying to pull a sweaty jersey over my head.

[leonardoacosta]

Great video!!! I am a beginner and it has helped me!! Thanks

[madmax]

Very refreshing to watch a great video. I’m new to riding and I’m thinking of shorts vs bibs. Your information is very helpful. Honest review not selling products. Don’t bother short distances with cycling clothes. I’m now riding 1-2 hours. I’m thinking some shorts not moving on my saddle is smart to do. I like buy summer and get some sleeves. Thanks for review.

Here in Toronto, the weather is so ...undecided... in the spring. So, like a complete noob, one of my panniers is stuffed with clothing options - rain coat, rain pants, super-breathable long-sleeve cotton/pol zip-up, riding hood, track pants, extra socks.

In other words, I'm ridiculous. But I'm not riding far, certainly not racing. Just out for a casual 20km ride...that takes about 2 hours somehow.

It's just nice to get out on a bike, despite all the clothing and packing weight overkill.

Great vid

Wow love the white santini summer jacket, though would have to use a rear mudguard even in summer here in Ireland
