Fred Perry Bradley Wiggins collection

Levi’s Commuter jeans
The most obviously rider-friendly feature of Levi’s denim line for cyclists is the reflective seam tape that helps get you noticed when you cuff your jeans, but they’re also cut, with a U-lock-sized belt loop, from water-resistant fabric with just the right amount of stretch ($108, Bikes on Wheels, 309 Augusta, 416-966-2453 779 Queen West, 647-352-6550, bikesonwheels.ca).
