Our Pedal in Pink collection is the place to start, with women's pink jerseys from soft pastels to hot pink and neon. Men's pink designs range from retro looks to a Giro d'Italia tribute. Breast Cancer Awareness Month takes place every October, and with spring warming up, it is a good month for a ride in pink.
In short
- Pedal in Pink holds our women's pink designs. Men's pink designs sit among our other jerseys.
- Pink comes in four looks: pastel, hot pink, neon and pink inside a print.
- Black knicks go with every pink. Pink or white socks finish the look.
- Breast Cancer Awareness Month takes place every October. The Giro d'Italia leader has worn pink since 1931.
Where can I buy pink cycling jerseys in Australia?
Pedal in Pink is our women's edit: florals, polka dots, retro stripes, unicorns, a bride jersey and the Faith Hope Love design in the photos on this page. Most of it is short sleeve, which suits the warmer rides of late spring.
If you only want a touch of pink, browse all our women's cycling jerseys and look for it inside the prints. For men, the pink picks include the Men's 100 Giro d'Italia jersey, a fruity flamingo print and a candy print. The Giro jersey and the candy print are in the carousel further down.
Take the Faith Hope Love jersey as an example of what you get: 140 GSM moisture-wicking polyester, 110 GSM mesh side panels, three back pockets, a full-length hidden zip and a silicone waist gripper. It is made to order in sizes XXS-7XL. Our sizes run small, so check the size chart on this page before you choose. Our jerseys have a club fit cut, so size up if you are between sizes.

Why do riders wear pink in October?
Breast Cancer Awareness Month takes place every October, and the National Breast Cancer Foundation holds its Pink Ribbon Breakfasts in the same month. Some riders mark it the simplest way a cyclist can, by turning up to the Saturday bunch ride in pink. The Faith Hope Love jersey has the word Hope across the chest with a pink ribbon, and it comes in short and long sleeve.
Pink also has a racing meaning that is much older. Since 1931 the leader of the Giro d'Italia has worn the maglia rosa, a pink jersey, because the newspaper that ran the race, La Gazzetta dello Sport, was printed on pink paper. In Italy, pink has meant "race leader" for more than 90 years. Our Men's 100 Giro d'Italia jersey is a soft pink nod to that history.
Which shade of pink suits a spring ride?
Pink covers a lot of ground, and the shade changes how the whole kit reads.
Pastel pink feels soft and retro, like the pale pink of old team jerseys. It is a light colour, so it is a natural pick for a hot morning in full sun, and it sits well with black, white or navy.
Hot pink is the bold, saturated shade of the Faith Hope Love jersey. A bunch in hot pink looks great in photos and stands out against green paddocks and blue sky.
Neon pink is the loudest of the four. If being seen by drivers is the main point, a neon or high viz design does the most work in daylight. Keep lights on the bike and reflective details on your kit for early starts and dusk, because no fabric colour replaces them.
Pink in a print suits riders who like pink but not head to toe: florals, flamingos, polka dots or candy stripes on a white or light base. My guess is this is where most first-time pink buyers end up.
What do you wear with a pink cycling jersey?
Black knicks. They go with every shade of pink and hide road grime, so the jersey gets all the attention. For more pink, our Women's Plain Gel Padded Cycling Bib comes in pink as well as lime, green, orange and yellow, and it looks best under a plain or lightly printed pink top.
A few other pairings that work:
- Socks that repeat the jersey: pink with pastel or hot pink, white with a busy print.
- One small matching detail, such as gloves, bar tape or sunglasses frames, instead of everything at once.
- A white or pink cap under the helmet on sunny days.
- Navy knicks with pastel pink, if black feels too plain.
On cool spring mornings, arm warmers under a short sleeve pink jersey come off at the café and keep the colour on show all day.
Do men wear pink cycling jerseys?
Yes, and every Giro d'Italia leader since 1931 has proved it. Men's pink designs in our store run from pastel retro team looks and the Giro tribute to a flamingo print, a candy print and high viz funky triangles with plenty of pink in them.
A pink jersey fits into a bloke's usual kit just as easily. Pastel pink over black knicks looks as classic as any team kit, and a flamingo print is a good conversation starter at the café.
Cut is not a barrier either. Through the customisation panel on the product page you can request a design in a different gender cut, so a mixed bunch can all ride in the same women's design, or the same men's one. Customised orders are final, so check the size chart before you choose.

How do you plan a group ride where everyone wears pink?
- Choose one design or one shade. A single design looks sharp in the group photo, while "anything pink" is easier for everyone.
- Collect sizes before anyone orders, measured against the size chart rather than the label people usually wear.
- Settle the cuts. Anyone who wants the same design in another gender cut asks for it in the customisation panel.
- Order early. Every jersey is made to order, so do not leave it to the week of the ride.
- Start early on warm days, carry plenty of water, and plan a route with a café stop for the photo.
On the day, ride at the pace of the slowest rider so the bunch stays together. If the group includes newer riders, a flat loop with one coffee stop beats a hilly route that splits everyone up. Take the group photo early, while the kit is still clean and nobody has wilted in the heat.
A shared order can clear free shipping on orders over A$125, and if a size is wrong, non-customised items come with 60-day store-credit returns. Our returns policy has the details.

Frequently asked questions
Are pink cycling jerseys only for October?
No. Plenty of riders wear pink all year, for the Giro d'Italia, on summer rides or simply because they like it. October just brings more of them out at once.
What colour knicks go with a pink cycling jersey?
Black goes with every shade. Navy works with pastel pink, and pink bib knicks suit a plain pink jersey.
Are pink cycling jerseys good for visibility?
Bright and neon pinks stand out well in daylight. For early starts, dusk and night rides, lights and reflective details matter far more than jersey colour.
Do you have pink cycling jerseys for men?
Yes. Our men's pink designs include pastel retro looks, a Giro d'Italia tribute, a flamingo print and a candy print.
Can I order a women's pink design in a men's cut?
Yes. Ask for a different gender cut in the customisation panel on the product page. Customised orders are final, so check your size first.
What does the pink jersey mean in pro cycling?
It is the maglia rosa, worn by the overall leader of the Giro d'Italia since 1931. The colour comes from the pink paper of La Gazzetta dello Sport.
