In road cycling, the most important features of clothing are a firm fit and minimal air resistance. A good fabric is sleek and technical, ensuring a snug fit and effective breathability. The best cycling clothes are also water-repellent or waterproof, which makes it possible to ride in different weather conditions. Pockets are often positioned on the back, allowing both good mobility and streamlining. Padded cycling shorts are also a good choice, as they reduce chafing and even out the pressure from the saddle.

In mountain biking, various technical features such as water resistance are more important than tight fit, but both should still be paid attention to. In forest trails clothes get easily dirty and muddy so dirt-repellency and easy-care properties are also a big help. Technical features such as water and wind resistance as well as flexibility are particularly important in mountain biking, as they allow cycling in a wide range of conditions. In rough terrain, it's also a good idea to protect yourself from scratches caused by branches and pebbles with long sleeves and thicker fabrics. Padded cycling pants also increase your comfort when mountain biking.

Bicycle commuting is a great way to be more active in your everyday life. It's not so much about performance but about moving from one place to another. In terms of clothing, the most important thing to consider is the weather and, of course, how you want to dress for the day or whether you might change your outfit when arriving at work. If your workplace doesn't have a shower or a possibility to change clothes, you can wear a pair of breathable shell pants, for example, to protect you from rain, wind and possible dirt. Commuting often takes place in an urban environment where other traffic can slow down your journey, so it is a good idea to consider possible stops in addition to sweating in your clothing. Technical clothing that also keeps you warm when needed is a good option for commuting cyclists.

Spinning and esports cycling are both indoor stationary cycling, where the environment is standard and weather conditions do not affect your choice of clothing. The most important features of clothing are lightness, breathability and comfort. Breathability is an important property for sweating, as temperatures indoors are often quite high and there is no breeze to cool you down. Short-sleeved shirts and shorts are good choices when cycling indoors, but above all, choose clothes you feel comfortable in.
