We have a large number of models of bikes, there could be mens city bike, city bikes or mountain bike, however constantly there are few things that every cyclist should have: a good helmet, special shorts, a good T-shirt, appropriate shoes and socks and eventually a backpack. Let’s read a few things about this staff. A helmet need to be solid, light and aerodynamic. It is a very significant thing for cyclist safety. Now in many European states having a helmet is obligatory. Helmets are made in many different types and colours, however it is good idea to have it in bright colours, in that case we are more visible (having this type of protection).

Shorts should be airy and have a special supporter to safe the cyclist during the journey. Professional shorts are very skin-tight legwear, they lower wind resistance, draw sweat away from the body, compress our legs. One of the best T-shirts is a jersey type, however non-professional cyclists could purchase a normal T-shirt for cycling in any sport shop. More significant than jerseys are the special cycling shoes. There are a large number of models in these sort of shoes. The decision which type we should buy have to depend of type and intensity of cycling. The essential characteristics are: rigidity (for transfer power from the cyclist to pedals of the bike), weight and things which helps attaching the shoe to the pedal. The best soles are those which includes carbon fibre. It is a nice idea to ask some expert which type of shoes we may purchase, is it for cyclists on mens city bike or even custom single speed bikes (and so for mens city bike the clothes may be not as good quality as for long-distance journeys).
