Equipment for your Bikeathon

Additions to the essential checklist.

-Light-sets – ‘Be Safe Be Seen’! - A good light-set is a must have for all cyclists.

-Puncture repair kits – When out riding, you can get a puncture, so always have a kit and pump with you.

-Protection – You should always budget to invest in adequate protection for your steed. There is a good range of D-locks and chain/cable locks to suit all applications.

-Hydration – A water bottle or hydration pack on your bike whilst training is a must. Water is essential to stop dehydration and to help replace energy loss.

-Tyres – Always check your tyre pressure. The tyres should be hard to stop punctures and again the harder the tyre the less of its surface is on the road and therefore cycling is easier.

-Tool kit – Carry in your jersey for essential maintenance or emergencies! )
