    Hi all
    Looking to pick up some clothes for cycling, im just unsure what to get. I'm new to road cycling, I have the padded shorts from when I was mountain biking. Everything else seems different tho. Any little bit of info would be a great help.
    Thanks
    Robert

    Hi,

    For me it's a compression base layer (long sleeve), cycling Jersey (short sleeve) and then a cycling jacket depending on weather. Have a light rain jacket as well.
    Wear bib tights in winter, bib shorts in summer. Really a personal preference.

    Wiggle have a good selection at a range of prices.

    Aldi and Lidl are ideal for you...
    On sale in Lidl today as far as I know,
    Shorts, Under armour, shoe covers, jacket, socks, light wind proof jacket that will fit in your pocket,
    The best money you can spend is on a floor pump...
    As you ride more you can purchase the brand name stuff.

    Exactly - Lidl/Aldi is the place to go. You'd probably get a nice set of cycling clothes for around €100-€150 (I'd say at that price you get 1 or 2 jerseys and so on if you want to have few spares). It will be enough to keep you going at least till winter.
