Preparing for the ride
 | Have the right clothing. TeamEstrogen
has suggestions.
 | Wear shorts with a chamois (they don't have to be tight; baggy styles
are available). For women, there are cycling
skorts. (Shorts are $25-70.)
| Wear jersey or t-shirt made of a wicking material, e.g., cool max.
(Jerseys are $15-50.)
| Gloves are needed. (Gloves are $7-15.) |
