FAQ: frequently asked questions about cycling clothing

1. What is the best clothing for cycling?

The best clothing depends on how you use your bicycle.

For sport rides, a cycling jersey, cycling shorts or bib shorts with a chamois, and technical accessories are particularly suitable. For daily travel around the city, it may be more practical to choose casual garments such as a Sergio Bianchi T-shirt, pairing it with regular urban clothing.

The goal is to choose garments that offer comfort, freedom of movement, and a fit suitable for their intended use.

2. What should you wear when cycling in the city?

For cycling in the city, it is not always necessary to wear a full technical outfit.

For short trips, you can choose a T-shirt, comfortable trousers, and accessories suitable for urban mobility. If you cover many kilometers every day, a technical jersey can help manage sweat better and increase comfort.

For those who want to combine cycling and style, Sergio Bianchi Firenze T-shirts are also designed to be worn off the bike.

3. What is a cycling jersey for?
