Women Cycling Knickers

Knickers exist because cycling seasons don’t always cooperate with a two-option wardrobe. Women Cycling Knickers at RA Cycles covers the shoulder-season gap — three-quarter length bottoms designed for the mornings and evenings when shorts leave you cold but full tights are too warm. Five options spanning light summer builds through thermal Roubaix-lined fabric for deeper into autumn.

Assos anchors the collection with the UMA GT Half Knickers in both summer and spring/fall weights, built on their women’s-specific chassis with performance chamois. Giordana and Capo fill out the range at more accessible price points. If you’re building a kit that covers multiple seasons, knickers are the piece that makes the shoulder months actually enjoyable to ride through.

About Women's Cycling Knickers

Knickers fill the gap between shorts and full tights — three-quarter length coverage that handles temperatures where shorts feel cold but tights trap too much heat. They work well for early morning starts, autumn rides, and spring days that warm up slowly. The key variables are fabric weight (lighter for cool days, thermal or Roubaix-lined for colder conditions) and whether you want a bib-style fit or a waistband. All five options in this collection use a waistband-free or low-profile cut suited to cycling movement.

Assos’ UMA GT Half Knickers lead the collection in two versions: a Summer build for cooler-weather road rides and a Spring/Fall build with heavier fabric for colder starts. Both carry Assos’ S11 construction and women’s-specific chamois. Giordana’s Silverline Knicker offers a solid mid-range option with Italian construction, while Capo’s Bacio Roubaix Knicker uses a brushed thermal interior for days when the temperature drops further — a practical choice at an accessible price.

For warmer conditions, shop women’s cycling shorts and bib shorts. For colder riding, browse women’s cycling tights.

R&A Cycles - 50th Anniversary

50 YEARS AND COUNTING

From a Brooklyn storefront to flagships in Walnut Creek and Miami, from handwritten mail orders to a fully digital custom bike builder — RA Cycles has spent half a century doing one thing: serving riders who demand the best. That half-century belongs as much to you as it does to us. The riders who kept coming back, who sent their friends, who trusted us with bikes that matter — you're the reason we're still here. Here's to the next fifty.
