Cyclist Racing
Being A Part Of A Pro Cycling Team
Pro bicycling is an exciting sport to watch, whether it is a mountain bike racing or road racing, the event is fast paced and rigorous to watch. These pro cycling teams all work together during the course of the race, even if there is only one of the individuals from the team that will ultimately win. Pro cycling teams have matching clothing and other equipment so that they look like a uniform team. Pro cycling teams are also usually sponsored by different organizations so that the uniforms are covered with advertisements by those companies.
Clothing
There are many options when a pro cycling team is choosing a uniform. One choice to make is whether to use a one piece uniform or a two piece uniform. There are pros and cons to each one, and the two piece uniform is the most often chosen. The one piece skin suit is usually chosen when there are shorter races that are being participated in. The reason for this is that the one piece suit cannot hold any snack materials like the jersey can. However, the skin suit is very aerodynamic and stays in place well during the course of the race. It is usually very breathable and keeps all the padding in place, even with the movement of the ride.
The two piece pro cycling team uniform is composed of the jersey and the bib shorts in most cases. There are biking shorts that do not have a bib attached to it, but these are not as often used for racing since they do not stay in place as well. The bib shorts in the pro cycling team uniform will match the colors of the jersey so that the entire outfit goes together. There is padding in the chamois in the shorts which help to create the comfort when riding for the individuals, whether male or female, with some different in the padding placement depending on the sex of the rider. The bibs of the shorts keep the chamois in place so that it does not get bunched up and does the best possible job for the racer. The other piece of the pro cycling team uniform is the jersey, which has a couple of variations in style also. The zipper on the jersey can go all the way to the bottom, or it can go to the abdomen or just to the chest. There can be pockets in the back of the jersey for holding snack materials for energy during a longer race, which is convenient for the racer to access while continuing to ride.

Cycle Helmets - Survey?
I believe that the people that wear helmets on push bikes are :
- Children, as parents have insisted (under 8yrs old)
- Proffessional Cyclists
- Racing - May be legislation
- General cycling - Men over 50
What do you think ?
Do you wear one ?
Another question :
Do young female Cyclists wear them, if so put your approximate age and how often you cycle etc.
Who has now bought one ?
