The reason I am asking is because my friend who is just getting to cycling, wants to start riding on a regular basis. She wants to lose weight for she is over 300 lbs. I took her out once and we went at a slow joggers pace and she wore a full warm up suit (after I had advised her not too) and she quickly overheated and we had to stop after about 15 mins of slow easy riding. We ended up walking back but next time around, I think she may reconsider her riding attire. She doesn't want to spend any money, for she isn't sure riding is for her. Any suggestions? She is ashamed of showing off her legs (won't do shorts!)
