Road cyclists prefer tight fitting lycra. Low air drag and it's good at wicking sweat away from the body. MTBers often prefer more loose fitting clothing that offers more protection against whipping branches and falls.
Because they have a death wish. Always wear a helmet. ALWAYS.
Cyclists wear gloves while riding to improve grip on the handlebars, protect their hands from blisters and calluses, and provide padding and support for long rides.
Cyclists wear form-fitting clothing made from aerodynamic materials, such as lycra, to reduce drag. This helps streamline their body and reduce wind resistance, ultimately improving speed and efficiency. Additionally, cyclists may wear helmets and use equipment like aerodynamic wheels to further minimize air resistance.

Cyclists wear glasses primarily to protect their eyes from wind, dust, debris, and harmful UV rays. Specialized cycling glasses enhance visibility by reducing glare and improving contrast, which is crucial for navigating varying light conditions. Additionally, they can prevent irritation from sweat and insects, ensuring a more comfortable ride. Overall, wearing glasses enhances both safety and performance for cyclists.
Some cyclists wear different necklaces for different reasons. For example Cadel Evens wears his wedding ring around his neck. A very popular necklace is a small medallion for the Madonna of Ghisallo or Lady of Ghisallo, the Patron Saint of cyclists. They wear this for protection and good luck. She has a dedicated chapel and climb in Italy that is almost always featured in the Giro di Lombardia. The chapel bells ring as the riders pass the chapel on the summit of the climb. This chapel is a very popular tourist site for cyclists as the chapel itself has a cycling museum that pays homage to all the riders that are no longer in the peloton of life.
