Shoes
You want shoes that are stiff and fit into the peddles. Having shoes that are stiff will make sure you get the most energy from peddling as your feet will not bend around the peddles therefore breaking down the energy. One point to remember when buying shoes for cycling is that your feet expand when they heat up so you shouldn't but them to tight. Allow for the feet to expand as they will do as you exercise with cycling. The shoes that are the most sought after are the one with the velcro fastening because they can be loosened with ease if shoes start to feel like they're pinching. Also they can be put on and taking off a lot easier.
Head Gear
It is best to always ride with a helmet. Without a helmet you are far more vulnerable. It is a good idea to invest in a good quality helmet. It should rest comfortably on your head and you shouldn't be aware you're wearing one. It should not move when you shake your head around and it also it should have good ventilation. There is plenty to choose from on the market today for cycling gear, don't scrimp on your cycling clothes they are an important investment for your cycling experience.
