Hello forum,
I want to start commuting into work by bicycle, it will be a 35 mile round trip so probably above average. I looked at a couple of the sticky posts but couldn't find any obvious guides in terms of clothing, therefore my first post.
Been commuting into work by motorcycle past 5 years, so I went through the journey of buying a little scooter then upgrading a few times until arriving to a sport bike and paying £60 for a helmet to £400 as i got more familiar with brands, quality and functionality.
As i embark in this new journey, I'd like to start more informed and buy the right gear from the get go. I have decided on what bicycle to buy based on the road conditions - but I have no clue what clothing brands to aim for, let alone what the list looks like.
So, bearing in mind that the one way trip is 17.5 miles, what should i buy so that i stay as comfortable as possible and could you provide any specific recommendations of retailers to shop from please?
Many thanks
