We have come up with some ideas of what every cyclist would need this winter as it is getting colder.

Here are our must-have cycling essentials for the winter so make sure you carry on reading to know exactly what to get before you hop on the road:

A warm cycling jacket that has air bubbled fleece is essential! Make sure to choose one with bright colours so cars and others can see you whilst you are cycling. You need to make sure you stand out to passing vehicles on the road so wrap up warm and ensure you shine bright before hitting the road!

Grip gloves are another cyclist must-have item because they firmly secure onto bicycle handles and keep your hands toasty warm, which is a double whammy in our books!

Layer up! We highly recommend skins because their job are to keep the hot air close to your body and get rid of the sweat at the same time. They are made up of very thin materials which means you can put other clothes over the top to create layers.
Lights are essential considering it is now getting darker much quicker. Bright lights that attach to your bike are essential so passing vehicles know exactly where you are on the road and can overtake you safely.

It's almost Christmas so hang in there for your annual stock up! Long thick socks or a few pairs on as your feet at the same time are perfect when cycling as it can easily get very cold, very quickly. If you can’t feel your feet, it means it will be harder to pedal and you may not even feel yourself pedalling!

A ski mask, hat or anything to protect your face from the wind hitting your face. We recommend ski glasses or googles to cover your eyes for when the wind hits as this puts you at danger of watering eyes which makes it harder to see the road.
