Keep your hands free and your riding must-haves contained with these comfortable cycling apparels.
Whether you like to carry a gel as post-workout fuel, like to keep a pair of cycling gloves at the ready, or feel unprepared without a multitool packed, having the right gear and accessories on hand can truly make or break your rides. That said, frame bags can weigh down your bike and strapping on a backpack isn’t always enjoyable, especially when you’re riding in the heat. Luckily, there’s a stylish—and comfortable—alternative: bike shorts with pockets.
Bike shorts blew up in the fashion world a couple years ago, but they have long been a workout staple for their comfortability and practicality. As athleisure and athletic wear has evolved, bike short styles have also evolved to fit the needs of the people who wear them, and one of the best additions to their design—and to that of any apparel item, we might add—are pockets.
