A biketard is an article of clothing made similar to a leotard and often worn in gymnastics or dance. The biketard can be cut to be sleeveless or sleeveless, depending on the wearer’s preference, and often has short legs that only reach mid-thigh. Typically available in several different colors and patterns, these garments can provide style or a unique touch to a dancer or gymnast without getting in the way of a performance. The shape of the garment also lends itself to being used by cyclists.

Looking like a combination of a leotard and bike shorts, a biketard provides comfort and a streamlined figure for a dancer or gymnast. Bikers can be made from materials such as velvet, velvet or cotton and often contain some spandex to ensure the garment fits snugly on the wearer. Although they are available for adults, they can often be seen in children taking dance or gymnastics classes.

While the bike can be most often seen on dancers and gymnasts, it can also be used quite effectively as an underlayer for cyclists in cold weather. Wearing a bulky coat or jacket can make riding a bike more difficult due to increased wind resistance; Many cyclists prefer to layer thinner clothing to keep warm during cold weather. With the inherent shape of a bike top and shorts, the biketard can often be a suitable undergarment option that you can then layer additional over it.

This allows a cyclist to also remove the outer layers of clothing if the weather changes or if it starts in the morning and the day heats up during the ride. With a bike underneath, the outer layers of shirts or pants can be removed and stored in a pack on the bike to allow the rider to stay comfortable and not overheat. The tight fit of the garment also tends to help reduce irritation caused by friction and chafing that other garments can create.

A biketard is usually made from common materials that make care and maintenance of the garment simple and easy. They generally do not require expensive dry cleaning or other processes for effective maintenance. While anyone looking to clean an electric bike should look at the manufacturer’s recommendations for care of the garment, they can usually be run on a cold cycle with regular detergent.
