A pump!


No matter how much we try to avoid damage to our tires, avoiding uneven surfaces, regularly checking our tire pressure and always making sure we have winter-ready tires, the inevitable puncture does happen. And so when it does, it’s great to be able to quickly pump your tires so you can still make the commute to work.

A Water Bottle


Often whilst cycling we can become fatigued, especially during the winter months, and the use of a water bottle provides an excellent opportunity to stay hydrated during those long rides over the winter months.

Gloves

The winter months are upon us and the frosty winds can be biting on the exposed hands of the cyclist. A pair of waterproof gloves could be great at effectively sealing the hands away from the elements whilst providing a strong secure grip on your bicycle handlebars and thus preventing any unwanted accidents.
