As a girl who loves cycling, I deeply understand that girls face many more issues than boys when cycling, which can even lead to some awkward moments, such as falling behind, periods, getting tanned, uncomfortable underwear, etc. Today, as your sporty best friend, I bring you solutions to these problems. Guys should also pay attention, especially single 'male cyclists,' because your attentiveness and detail-oriented nature might help you find a cycling-loving girl.
Falling Behind
The most embarrassing thing during group cycling is falling behind. However, female cyclists don't need to push themselves too hard. Just determine your cycling speed based on your actual ability and gradually improve. Everyone starts as a novice. Of course, mental and equipment preparation before cycling is crucial. However, I've encountered some girls who enthusiastically joined the ride but gave up halfway, leaving the guys to handle two bikes and carry a girl. So, please consider carefully before cycling to avoid causing inconvenience to your teammates.
Wardrobe Malfunction
Spring is here, and summer is not far behind. Girls love to wear their favorite skirts, gather a few friends, and go cycling to enjoy the scenery and nature. It sounds like a beautiful picture. However, for someone like me who calls herself a 'tomboy,' skirts have never appeared in my wardrobe.
For boys, cycling is no big deal, but for girls in skirts, it can be problematic. The biggest issue is preventing wardrobe malfunctions, such as when getting on and off the bike or when a sudden gust of wind blows. This kind of embarrassment is hard to describe in a few words. So, how to solve this problem?
The best solution is, of course, not to wear a skirt. If you must wear a skirt, take protective measures, such as using a rubber band to tie the skirt on the side or wearing slightly longer compression shorts underneath. However, I still recommend that cycling-loving girls wear cycling clothes, which also help reduce shock during the ride.
Period
Yes, every girl is familiar with this troublesome 'visitor.' During this time, girls bear both physical and psychological pressure. Many women are unsure whether they can cycle during their period. In fact, moderate exercise is possible during menstruation; the key is the type and intensity of the exercise.Remember, the premise is 'moderate light cycling.'If the reaction on the first day of your period is particularly strong, you need to rest for a day.
Long Hair and Helmets
Long hair and helmets are a troublesome pair. However, girlsshould never give up wearing a helmet because of heat or to protect their hair, as safety is a hundred times more important than your hair.For long-haired female cyclists, there are two ways: either let your hair down or tie it up. Of course, some girls cut their hair short for cycling, like me... Yes, that's how much I love cycling.0
Girls new to cycling might not pay much attention to choosing a sports bra, but the quality of a sports bra directly affects cycling comfort and women's health. The sweat and impact during exercise are much higher than usual, and a regular bra cannot provide the necessary protection and comfort.
A sports brais essential because, without proper support and protection, the intense movement during exercise can damage the elastic fibers in the breast tissue, causing sagging and deformation. So, choosing a suitable sports bra is very important.Currently, sports bras on the market are roughly divided into three categories: simple fixed, pressure fixed, and composite structure. The most widely used and suitable for female cyclists is the pressure-fixed type. It relies on the elasticity of the fabric to apply pressure to the chest for fixation. The design considers the shape and structure of the breast and ergonomics, providing good fixation while maintaining relative comfort.
So, how to choose a sports bra? It depends on the type of cycling and the bike. Generally, the intensity of cycling varies, affecting the body's impact and vibration differently, so you should choose bras with different levels of fixation. Road cycling is usually low intensity, while mountain and rough terrain cycling is high intensity. Road cyclists can choose bras with adjustable shoulder straps and breathable materials, while mountain bikers should wear compression bras for better support on bumpy roads.
Although girls face various issues when cycling, I still recommend this sport to all girls. Sometimes, seeing the world from a different perspective can be completely different. Some dreams may never come true, but some are easy to achieve. When you truly get on a bike and ride, you'll find that the world can be so beautiful.
I've met many female cyclists during my rides, and their temperament and state are different from ordinary girls. They exude a refreshing vibe that makes people feel comfortable. When chatting with them, you'll hear different stories, but despite the differences in people and stories, the excitement is the same.
So, let's go cycling together. Guys, be proactive and invite the girl you like to a place you both want to go. Isn't that the most beautiful thing?
