2. Jeans

High waisted stretch jeans are good to add to your outfit when riding a bike. The jeans are sturdy, with extra stretch, to eliminate a heavy feeling. Jeans can be paired with a scoop neck t-shirt or light sweater. On days when the weather is more chilly than warm, you can pair your jeans with a hooded jacket, to help protect you from the kick-back of the wind.
