Sustainable fashion for cyclists We are cyclists. We love being outside on our bikes. As a result, the weather conditions and appropriate clothing play a very important role: Functional, breathable and waterproof is a MUST. But: How functional does it have to be? How sustainable is fashion for cyclists? Women, it appears. We have had a look at five different solutions, which make cycling more comfortable and attractive.

I try not to be the cyclist that everyone hates; I want people to see me at intersections, and if I feel the slightest bit unsafe on the street, I'll take to the sidewalk, despite it being illegal.
I'd rather get yelled at for cycling on the sidewalk than being run over on the street. Plus, you can put cool stickers on them. I use a boarding helmet, with the removable earpieces. More on helmets later. Depending on the ride, this may save a ton of road rash. Falling down is rarely fun, so why risk leaving skin behind. Full finger, year round, except for the hottest of hot days, when half fingers are good to go.
Have Windproof overmitts for subzero rides. In fact, wool mitts with a windproof outer are best, as your fingers are all nested together, instead of being separated by glove fingers. I find that if you are polite, motorists will most likely be nicer to you. Eye contact, a smile and a wave work wonders for good karma points. Do not flip the bird to motorists. One of them may kill you.
Top Tube Protector- prevents crushed cables from rack bite, and enough padding to make a gonadectomy less possible. There is an instructable on how to make one of these. Made out of recycled inner tube, these slices are wrapped and zap strapped to contact points- anywhere the bike will rub against the rack while in transit.
Mainly at the joint of the seat tube and the top tube, and the head tube and the top tube. The chainstay and is wrapped and strapped with old inner tube. This will stop scratching from chain slap and road debris from messing up the frame. I also use a suspension seat post, and cover any exposed part of it with old inner tube.
I always mount a rear rack, and have a bungee or two. You never know. With a light load strapped on, over rough terrain, they tend to slew off to the sides. I don't have fenders, currently, as inner tube bike armour does the trick for me; fenders come highly recommended, though.
Teflon lubes work well that way too. All pretty cool, eh? These can be expensive, but they are totally excellent on hardpacked snow or ice. Beware - in soft snow, they are just like regular tires - slippery. I'll try to dig up a recipe for them. Beware, snow tires have a lot of rolling friction, due to their studs, and feel different handling wise. They are kind of like wearing heavy boots: After a season of using them, you'll be amazed at how summer tires roll so easily. My wife bought me my studded tires Shame on me and I chucked out my homemade ones More shame on me.
I use big knobbly MTB tires all year round; slicks are for road racing bikes and are effeminate. Please do not be offended; this is for the mid-instructable humour break! I love gadgets, as you probably know by now. On the handlebars I have a GPS mount, cycle computer and bell required by law.
If a map is needed, I can use a bit of paracord to attach a mapcase, and for a fun you can attach a thermometer to the bars using the ubiquitous inner tube slice. I also have a handle bar bag for frequently used smaller items. This bike does need a paint job I'd mentioned trekking poles earlier; this is why I carry at least one. This is what happens when you ran out of trail. Nice view, eh? I always have: a bike lock and keys. My bike was stolen right off the back of my truck once;luckily I got it back undamaged.
A second bike was locked up, but as the thieving bastards couldn't ride it, they threw it off the third floor pedestrian walkway of a train station. Point being, sometimes it just doesn't matter.
