Bike Specific clothing, Is it worth it?
Are specially designed biking shorts, that have the padding and such helpful?
I am just getting back in the swing of mountain biking, and I never bothered with the bike clothing before, but my new bike's saddle is a little less forgiving than my last bike's. Also, is there a such thing as padded biking gloves? Or maybe I should just buy more comfortable grips.
Also, any suggestions on good brands to go with, or is there really no difference?
The guy that sold me my bike said these accessories are hard to live without, but I just wanted to see if this is totally true before i drop some money on some biking threads.
Thanks!
