Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between bib shorts and regular cycling shorts?
Bib shorts feature shoulder straps that hold the shorts in place, eliminating the need for an elastic waistband. This provides a more secure, comfortable fit on longer rides and prevents the shorts from slipping. Regular waist shorts are easier to put on and take off, making them popular for commuters and casual riders who prefer convenience.
Do I need to wear underwear under cycling shorts or bib tights?
No — cycling shorts and bib tights are designed to be worn without underwear. The built-in chamois pad works best against bare skin, reducing friction and chafing. Wearing underwear underneath can create additional seams and bunching that may cause discomfort, particularly on longer rides.
What cycling legwear is best for riding 's wet weather?
For our frequent wet and cold conditions, thermal bib tights with a water-resistant or windproof front panel are an excellent choice. Knee warmers and leg warmers add versatility to your kit, letting you adapt quickly to changing conditions. Look for fabrics with moisture-wicking properties to help keep you dry from both rain and sweat.
How do I choose the right size of cycling shorts or tights?
Sizing can vary between brands, so it's always best to check each brand's specific size guide using your waist and hip measurements. A good fit should feel snug but not restrictive, with the chamois pad sitting flat against your body without bunching. Our team at The Cycle Zone are happy to help you find the perfect fit in store.
