My hubby has hip bursitis and he has been bicycle riding the last 3 years in warmer weather to keep his weight under control. However, he has never been successful riding when the temps are less than 55 F. I blame it on his attire as he wears cotton t-shirt, sometimes with a springtime jacket over it, and nylon shorts at 55 and above.
However, this year he is concerned as he gained more weight than he wanted to over the winter and he wants to try riding now. That is, if he can find the proper attire.
Our winter temps have been ranging from 20- 40 F. Whatever attire he would need would have to shield him in this range.
So, I turn to this forum for suggestions. We are on a limited budget, but what are some suggestions for the proper attire riding a hybrid bike on back country roads (~11-13 mph) for 1.5 hours with the aforementioned temps? Links to clothing suggestions on Amazon and others would be greatly appreciated. He normally wears an XL size t-shirt and shorts.
Thanks very much,
Josephine
