What We’re Wearing
On the Bike
The best gear for getting around, or getting far away, on two wheels
In recent months, cycling has been the “saving grace” for many who are looking for any reason to get outside and blow off some steam. So whether that means you're simply hopping on for a quick ride to the other side of town or taking off for a long scenic cycle through the country, make sure you're stocked with the best gear. For some, that may mean a handy bag to carry their essentials while riding. For others, it's clothing and shoes that don't look like athletic gear but come with all the performance bells and whistles. Herewith, what the Valet. team is wearing when we hop on the saddle.
