摘要：In Saudi Arabi, women’s practice of cycling is governed by some regulations and controls that take into account traditional, religious, and social considerations. Such regulations and controls are meant to protect women against potential street accidents or abuses. This research examines Saudi woman’s preferences for cycling clothes, and the current situation of women’s practice of cycling in Saudi Arabia with the aim to produce some recommendations that could enable sportswear designers to produce women’s cycling clothes that take into account and respect social and religious values. A questionnaire was designed to examine cycling trend of Saudi Women, and solicit the opinions of 52 women on the availability of modest cycling sportwear as well as their general preferences for cycling clothes. Using a quantitative method, the research’s findings have shown tendency among a majority of surveyed women to wear specialized and modest cycling clothes in public places, thus signifying the need to design specialized and modest sportswear for women that conforms to traditional values and Islam teachings.
