Ladies Cycling Outfits
CYCLING COSTUME: IDEAS PAGE
Dressing up to ride your old bicycle is becoming an increasingly popular pastime. When I wanted to assemble an outfit I found it a bit daunting at first. But once you know what to look for, vintage clothing shops and ebay can provide the necessary items at reasonable prices.
Although you’ll be able to get ideas of cycling costume from the many period photos on other pages, I’ve added some adverts and pictures here illustrating cycling costumes for men and women. I hope this might inspire you to create something similar yourself. I’ll add to this page as I find more of interest.
