High-performance new cycling clothing, sturdy helmets or design-led bicycle wall mounts
If you want a field report on the best cycling brands out there, you could go into any café close to Regents Park on a Sunday and see them all on one middle-aged guy who’s just finished a spin around the Outer Circle. His jersey’ll be Le Col, his bib Rapha and his gilet by Maap. He’ll have Oakley sunnies at the ready, a Specialized helmet sitting on a nearby table and a bunch of Attaquer and Pas Normal at home for special occasions.
Such label-stuffing may invite jocular glances from the other customers, but in reality, this is the guy who’s got his riding on lock. He’s sweat- and chafe-free, and if you look past your own prejudices about lycra, he looks pretty fly too.
Whether you like to wear all your brands at once or you’re looking to become a fanboy of one particular label, this rundown of the best cycling ateliers should hold what you seek. We’ve got spec-heavy helmets, performance-enhancing jerseys and slick bike accessories ahead that’ll have you obsessing over cleats.
What our editors wear:
If you just want a quick-fire guide to our favourite cycling clothing of the year, we’ve given you a little preview here of our top cycling jerseys, cycling shorts and accessories that we wear cycling every week. Once you embrace them, there’s really no going back.
