Executive summary

Cycling buyers buy to fix a specific problem: a sore back, raw skin, a recovering knee, a trip coming up, or a budget that rules out the pricey option. They care about comfort and safety more than speed, and most of them are beginners, returning riders or people mixing cycling with other training. Most ads lean on speed, lightness and pro-level performance. Our research shows the bigger opportunity is comfort without pain, clothing that fits and doesn't show everything, a fair price, and the confidence to start. The ads that win will show the exact problem being solved: no chafing, no back ache, no sizing gamble.
