In metallic blue, these Motodiva shoes by Specialized ($159.99, Cyclepath , 1510 Danforth, 416-463-5346, and others) designed on a women’s last look hot but also have cool ortho features that help you retain energy and prevent hot spots (inside your shoes) and knee injuries.

With a fluorescent backside, matching rear pouch and reflective side strips, there’s no way you can miss this A-line cycling skirt – designed by veteran fashion label Comrags ($140, 654 Queen West, 416-360-7249) – speeding away from you.

Unless you’re one of those leg-shaving time-skimming racing enthusiasts, feel free to sack those ol’ sporto nuthuggers for a pair of these three-in-one ripstop Gusta shorts by Sugoi ($129, Curbside Cycle , 412 Bloor West, 416-920-4933). Wear the removable chamois-padded Ricaro2 liner shorts solo, as a set with the outer shorts or with other toppers.

Whether you’re a career rider (big up to the all the hot couriers out there) or a beginner prone to wiping out, these Body Geometry sport gloves ($34.99, Cycle Solutions , 444 Parliament, 416-972-6948, and other) come in handy thanks to a special raised palm pad that not only offers skid protection but relieves nerve pressure and hand numbness during longer rides.

Cut for a woman’s figure and available in other prints, this Shebeest S-cut jersey ($68, Mountain Equipment Co-op , 400 King West, 416-340-2667) is made from a moisture-wicking, UV-protecting microfibre and has three angled-for-access back pockets.
