GIRO BIKE GEAR GUIDE
OVERWHELMED WITH OPTIONS? START HERE.
Giro has been in the bike business since 1985 and we know helmets, shoes and apparel inside and out. We’re proud of the details and we like to boast about what sets us apart from all of the other brands. But let’s face it: all of this tech talk can get confusing. We get that all of these options (in bike helmets alone) can feel overwhelming. So we’re taking a moment to simplify the discussion and help you decide what you really need in order to have a safer and enjoyable experience on your bike.
HELMET BASICS
Visors? Lights? What is Mips? When did bike helmets get so complicated? Our host, Gemma, breaks down the essentials to confidently get you out on the road (or the trail, or rolling along the bike path, or… you get the idea!)
FOOTWEAR BASICS
Here’s a secret: the right shoes make all the difference in your bike-riding experience. Gemma walks us through a few key tips to help you make the right decisions and keep you from clip-clopping through the café (unless that’s what you want!).
APPAREL BASICS
So you’re tired of pedaling yourself into a sweaty mess every time you ride your bike, but you don’t want to look like you’re trying out for a Tour de France team. Good news, Gemma is here to explain what’s really important when it comes to bike clothes (spoiler alert: there’s a reason for padded shorts!).
WHAT TO WEAR ON YOUR E-BIKE
Just got yourself a shiny new e-bike? Well, congrats! Now what do you need to stay safer and comfortable? Do e-bikes require special helmets? Are sweatpants appropriate attire? Our host, Gemma, breaks it down.
