7. There's no doubt that cycling is great for shapely legs, but even if you have a pair that would make Cyd Charisse turn green with envy, you may want to put some clothes on – at least in public. Pay tribute to the fearless suffragettes by wearing trousers or, even better, follow their path by cycling in a dress – it could prove to be the new bloomers.

Concerning trousers, choose short and tight. Loose and very long trousers can be elegant, but they'll get stuck in the spokes and covered in bicycle oil. Shorts are also welcome – wear them with bare legs during summer or with warm tights during winter. For the authentic pin-up look, choose a high-waisted pair.

When they're not too long or too tight, skirts and dresses are well-suited to cycling, perfect for feeling the fresh air on your legs and tanning slowly during summer. However, avoid pencil skirts that will impede movement, as well as wrap skirts that are prompt to open up while cycling, unless you want to provoke a series of car accidents on your way to the office.
