cycling gear

Rider's essential kit

Cycling gear is the equipment and clothing used for bicycling—helmets, padded shorts, jerseys, gloves, shoes, and accessories like water bottles and repair kits.

The term can also refer specifically to a bicycle's gearing system: I shifted into a lower cycling gear for the hill.
