                                CLOTHING
Cycling trousers (a) are essential if you want to sit comfortably. These close-fitting trousers, at least at the inside, have special padding in the seat. They have no seams that can press into you and they do not form folds. Cycling trousers are therefore designed to be worn next to the skin.
Since sporty cycling will soon bring you out in a sweat, a jersey made of synthetic materials is ideal (b). The fibres themselves do not take up any moisture but instead wick the sweat away from the skin up to the surface of the materials and thus prevent you getting cold from the cool wind produced by your speed. On longer tours you should in addition have suitable protection against the rain. Your URBAN JUNGLE dealer will be glad to help you choose the right equipment.
WARNING
Never ride with wide-cut trousers or skirts that might get caught in the spokes, chain or chainrings. To avoid any such mishap, use suitable clips or straps, if necessary.
For increased visibility to other road users be sure to wear striking and bright-coloured clothing!
PEDALS AND SHOES
Cycling shoes (c) should be made of solid material to provide firm support for your feet. In addition, they should have a stiff sole so that the pedal cannot press through. The sole should not be too wide in the area of the heels, as the rear stays or the crank will otherwise get in the way of your pedalling. This will prevent your feet from assuming a natural position when pedalling and may cause knee pain in the long run. Your URBAN JUNGLE dealer has a wide range of shoes available and will be pleased to advise you.
Special cycling shoes are obligatory, if your URBAN JUNGLE bike is equipped with clipless pedals. With these shoes cleats are fixed to the sole. They give you a firm connection between shoe and pedal and allow depending on the model an at least acceptable walking position.
