I'm a female cyclist and have been riding for about 18 Months.
Something that I've found incredibly frustrating since I've started cycling is how hard it is to find cycling clothing specifically for women. There is very little choice of Women's cycling shorts and very little choice of Women's cycling jerseys.
Great Britain is one of the dominant forces in women's cycling, and one of the most successful and fastest growing sports in the country and yet the manufacturers seem to ignore this.
This is just some of the Great Britain Womensachievements
5 Medals in the 2010 Track World Championships
5 Medals in the 2008 Beijing Olympics
A number of Women are in Professional road race teams on the continent
If you search on Google or any Search Engine for Men's cycling jerseys or Men's cycling shorts you will find hundreds of websites with a vast amount of choice however if you type Women's cycling shorts or Women's cycling jerseys most of the sites that appear have at best a small amount of Women's clothing and there seems to be no sites specifically for Women.
I would love to buy replica Professional team kits, however very few team's manufacturer Women's cycling shorts. Surely worldwide there must be a huge market for Women's cycling clothing.
I just hope the likes of Pearl Izumi, Nalini and Castelli realise this and that there will soon be as much choice as there is for Men's cycling clothing!
This website has a section for Women's cycling clothing and is very well set out. The range on it will continue to grow.
