Staff Picks for Best Indoor Cycling Clothes
The Terry Team Shares Spinning Tips & Recommendations for the Best Indoor Cycling Clothes – Updated for 2026
Here at Terry headquarters in Vermont, we brace ourselves every fall for the cold, cold weather to come, knowing that in a few short weeks only the very hardiest among us will still be cycling outdoors.
That's where indoor cycling comes in – it's perfect for staying in shape during the off-season, enjoying the physical and mental benefits of cycling without having to deal with winter roads and freezing temps. Some of the Terry team actually include indoor cycling in their workout routines year round, others just for the winter months. Naturally, we all have plenty of Terry pieces among our favorite indoor cycling clothes.

Terry Rebel Short – cycling shorts optimized for riding in high heat conditions.

Terry Ultramesh Liner – cycling liner shorts ideal for indoor workouts at home. Our customers surprised us by wearing the Ultramesh not as a liner, but on its own for at-home indoor cycling. Of course! The fabric is super soft, the mesh is ideal for cooling, and the Ultramesh is tailored with comfort waistband, seams and silicone chaingrip legbands. Features Terry's premium Flex Air chamois with soft wings, comfortable for long spin sessions. Shop Ultramesh Liner |
Kelly, Terry friend and relation – Favorite Indoor Cycling Gear: Breakaway Short
|
I've just started wearing cycling shorts from Terry. I tried a few options and decided on the Breakaway Short. The style and the light padding were perfect for my needs. I tie my hair back, pair my shorts with an easy tee, and of course I clip my shoes in for a more efficient work out. Check out all the Terry Breakaway options here. |
Cam, Customer Service – Best Indoor Cycling Shorts: Terry Peloton Short
 |
I wear the Peloton TDF Short almost daily while using my spin bike at home. I love how soft the fabric and waistband are. This style is great for riding in a seated position as well as standing. The Peloton is easy to just throw on for a quick work out – there's no need to shift and shimmy into a high compression fit. I think this short is an especially good option for some of our older spinners who might want a little more padding. |

I also wear the Soleil Racer Tank for my work outs a lot. The pockets are perfect for holding my phone both on and off the bike. It's a perfect transition top – it takes me from spinning to weight lifting without skipping a beat. |
Serena W, Sales – Favorite Spin Shorts: Chill 7 Shorts
|
I go to the spin classes at Synergy Fitness, in Williston, VT. I love the workouts, but the great thing about spin is it's always your ride – you can exert the amount of effort you want!
My top tips for spin class
|
- The Chill shorts provide nice compression with one of our best chamois that make riding comfortable!
- If you want a minimalist chamois the Club short is great, with a pocket for your locker key or cash for a smoothie after class
Alysia C., Art Director – Favorite Spinning Bottoms: Holster Capri
|
Holster Hi Rise Capri I spin at Marketplace Fitness, in Burlington, VT. It's not a hardcore spinning studio, but it's a good price with good teachers. I like the moderate compression fabric of the Terry Holster Capri over the high compression of the Prima or Studio. I prefer the capri length because the gym is chilly in the winter, and the Holster's comfy chamois helps to make the low quality saddles at the gym feel better. Sometimes the Breakaway and Actif knickers are in my rotation too. |
