The most important rule of thumb when choosing a top for indoor cycling is to pick one made of sweat-wicking fabric. If you ride in a cotton top (even if it’s a tank), you’ll feel like a hot, sweaty mess the whole time. So let’s just avoid that scenario!
Thin, sweat-wicking tanks are perfect for ventilation and will help keep you dry as you cycle. Flowy, cropped t-shirts are another great option that provide plenty of airflow. Just make sure it has minimal stitching to avoid uncomfortable rubbing on your skin.
Some people prefer to ride shirtless indoors, but a sports bra is another excellent alternative. Indoor cycling is generally a medium-impact sport, so you’ll want to choose a supportive sports bra that keeps you comfortable and makes you feel secure during physical activity. Again, make sure it’s made of a sweat-wicking material for optimum comfort.
