MEN'S ROAD CYCLING BEGINNERS GUIDE
New to road? Start here. We’ll kit you in essentials that vanish in motion—fit, layers, and comfort dialed—so your first miles feel simple, fast, and honest. No fluff, just function, built for riders who’d rather ride than talk about it.
Start simple: the right kit, fit, and layers so your first road miles feel easy.
SHORTS & BIBS
Shorts or bibs? Your call. Shorts stop at the waist; bibs use shoulder straps to ditch the waistband, ease breathing, and keep the chamois locked where it should be. The chamois—breathable, multi-density foam—smooths road buzz while compressive panels support muscles and fight chafe. Yes, bibs can slow a pit stop, but for long road miles they’re the comfort pick. Pro tip: wear them next to skin—no underwear.
JERSEYS
Your jersey should vanish: sleek fit, fast-wicking fabric, a drop-tail for coverage, and low rear pockets you can hit without looking. It’s also your signature—colors and graphics that play with your socks and lid. Fit guide: Form-Fit for aero, slightly compressive, zero flap; Standard Fit for close-to-body without the squeeze; Relaxed for extra room to move.
GLOVES
Hands are one of three contact points—treat them right. Go light padding to mute road buzz without dulling feel; too much pad = sloppy grip and faster fatigue. Fingerless for hot days. Full-finger for wind, wet, and cooler temps so you can still work the levers. Our 3D-shaped pads place pressure relief exactly where you rest on the bar—more control, less numb.
SHOES
Your power starts at your feet. A proper road shoe is stiff for clean power transfer, snug (not tight) with wiggle room up front, and a locked-in heel that doesn’t lift. Classic road soles (nylon or carbon) run sleek and efficient with 3-bolt cleats—fast on the bike, awkward on foot. Not ready to commit? A gravel-friendly shoe is the one-quiver move: walkable tread, 2-bolt cleats, still plenty stiff, and it won’t kill your road vibe.
JACKETS & VESTS
Stay warm, stay (mostly) dry. Unless you live in rain, skip “waterproof” sweat buckets and carry a light, DWR-treated wind jacket instead. Snug fit = no flap, packs to a pocket fast. BioViz® details pop in low light. Start with the Quest Barrier Convertible: relaxed fit, blocks wind, shrugs off light rain, and the sleeves zip off when the temps spike or the descent bites.
BASELAYERS
A baselayer will help keep you in the comfort sweet spot as temperatures fluctuate, but especially in cooler weather. They fit close to the body, under your bib straps, and pull sweat quickly off your skin. In warmer temps when you’re sweating more a baselayer will improve your cooling, to a point. We don’t recommend them above 90. In cooler weather, the baselayer keeps you dryer and warmer. Choose a polyester Transfer base for all condition use, or cozy Merino wool for cooler rides.
WARMERS
Rides often start early and end some 20 degrees later. Arm warmers and leg warmers slip over limbs, allowing you to adjust your thermostat as the temperatures change. They are easy to pull off and tuck away into the jersey with little fuss. Like bibs and jerseys, arm and leg warmers come in a variety of sizes. Find the right fit for your guns, as you don’t want the warmers to slip off. To help prevent them from falling down, layer arm and leg warmers under the jersey and bibs.
SOCKS
Socks aren’t just another way to dial in your look; the bright colors help you be seen by drivers on the road. They come in many lengths, but, thanks to Lance Armstrong, the current trend has a bias for midcalf length. Socks should be comfortable, stay put, and meet the conditions you’re riding in. Thin and airy are good for hot summer days; wear a bit thicker Merino wool sock for cooler days.
