Because I do but I'm not sure I should. One of my favorite brands of lady cyclingwear launched menstrual bib shorts and it got me considering the option. Sometimes I read posts and answers that suggest some women ride without wearing underwear but it seems odd to me + I'm really afraid of chaffing. I feel really stupid asking this question but here we are I guess. submitted by /u/EmergencyExchange140 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello!! Does anyone know where to find colorful padded shorts? I currently religiously wear the Patagonia Nether which has two great patterns, but want more options. Thank you! submitted by /u/CompleteAd6419 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Posted in the general cycling reddit but too many of the replies didn't understand the assignment. I've started bike commuting to work on nice days (6-7 miles each way). I wear regular sunglasses when it's bright out, but I hate the way the wind still gets in my eyes with them. Is there any good eye protection for biking that has any amount of style, or should I suck it up and get something cheap that I can swap out with something cuter at my destination? submitted by /u/RepulsiveFish [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Does anyone have experience with Ryzon cycling (or triathlon) gear? Some of the women’s tops appear to show a top on a male torso, so it’s hard to get an idea of the fit. I’m wondering if their website just doesn’t have good pictures of the women’s cut or if some of their items are unisex and listed in both categories. submitted by /u/Cycling18LawMa [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I've discovered cycling at the age of 45 and I'm head over heels in love. After putting almost 500 miles on a fitness hybrid that was two sizes too big and thinking I'd never be able to ride anywhere because of all the pain, I've just bought my first properly fitted bike: a Liv Avail AR 3. Did I mention that I'm in love? Because I'm in LOVE. I've only put about 25 miles on the bike so far. We're still getting to know one another. And I have questions. Gearing: I have discovered "cross chaining" which apparently means that you shouldn't use matching rings in front and back (ie. big ring in fro ..read more

Hello everyone. My wife is looking for a new bike and we are checking out the Liv Brava in a couple days. There is a shop locally that is selling the Pro 1 for %50 off. She is 5'8" and there is only a medium available. She is at the high end of the Medium and low end of the Large. https://www.liv-cycling.com/ca/brava-advanced-pro-1-2022 Unfortunately they don't have any larges for her to try. Could anyone give some input on sizing if they have this bike or a different Liv bike? Thank you in advance! submitted by /u/Ok-Lie2629 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

G’day, everyone! Looking for some ladies to ride some trails with in Arizona. I don’t take it too seriously and still have a ways to go in the skill department but I’d love a community to get out and ride with and level up. I’m also open to connecting with people outside of Arizona/U.S :) submitted by /u/Salty-Efficiency-712 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey all, Just wanting to ask for some recommendations of films about women cycling? I’ve been watching some great cycling docs lately but so many of them (almost all) have been about white men. It makes me feel so disconnected from cycling. Last night I watched Biking Borders and honestly I thought it was a wonderful film about an incredible adventure and a great cause, but the part where they went through Iran (well, actually everywhere east of Greece) and had such a jolly old welcoming time with their beards, and everyone was so hospitable… and they didn’t even once acknowledge on camera th ..read more

Touring this summer, and I’m looking for recommendations for shoes to wear. I don’t want clips/clipless, just a flat sole, that way I can wear them off the bike too. Is the mountain bike shoe the best route, or are there others that have a firm sole that folks like? Thanks! submitted by /u/Hot_Takis937 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi ladies, Iam having issues finding well fitting jerseys! They are all too short! And i am only 5’7, though with a long torso and small waist, countered by broad shoulders and back (which takes extra material with it). So jerseys are too wide and too short. Any brands or models to recommend before i give the men’s section a proper go? submitted by /u/Beginning_Put_2861 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
