BIKES
While the bikes the professional riders use look like everyday bikes they are built
to meet very specific standards and to give the rider as much speed and handling
ability as possible. Bikes in the professional peloton have to weigh at least 6.8kg
and the team mechanics work to keep the bikes as light as possible. How much
do you think your bike weighs? We are pretty sure it will be more than 6.8kg!

HELMETS
Just like you when you go out for a ride, every rider in the peloton
must also wear their helmet. Riders can travel up to more than
80km/h so a helmet is very important should a rider ‘crash’ (we
generally call it falling off our bike). In the peloton each team has a
different looking helmet, to help people pick who they are. Whenever
you go out for a ride you should always wear your helmet that
complies with Australian safety standards – just remember a helmet
can be replaced much easier than your head.15

EQUIPMENT
CLOTHING
Professional Cyclists wear slightly different clothing to what most of
us do when we head out for a ride. Instead of jeans and a t-shirt they
wear a full cycling kit in their team design made from Lycra – this
assists in making them quicker on the bike! A cycling kit generally
consists of: team jersey, bib-Knicks, socks, cleats (specific cycling
shoes), socks, cycling cap and gloves
Research the team kits of the 2018 WorldTour teams and then come
up with your own team kit design. You can use images you find online
or in magazines or draw and colour your own.16
