Windproof and waterproof jackets help cyclists cope with changeable weather. Wearing at least one doesn’t add extra bulk to their kit ensemble. Both are crucial as they keep riders warm and dry when cycling in the rain or with strong winds.

Windproof jackets block the wind, while waterproof jackets keep rain from soaking through. They make a thoughtful and practical present, showing you care about their well-being. No matter what the weather brings, your cycling enthusiast loved one can have a comfy ride.

Cycling gloves

Cycling gloves are every biker’s hand protector. On colder days, e.g., cycling on ice, they keep your hands warm, so you feel cosy while steering. When cycling in hot weather, they absorb sweat, preventing hands from getting slippery. Gloves also provide extra cushioning, reducing vibrations from the road. So, show your cyclist some love this Cupid’s Day by ensuring their hands are protected on every ride. 

Reflective gear

These accessories have reflective materials that shine in the dark. It’s like having a protective glow for riders, especially during low-light conditions. Wearing them also enhances their road visibility when cycling at night.

Consider gifting reflective items like vests, bands, or stickers to your favourite cyclist. Vests offer full visibility, bands go on arms or legs, and stickers to add to Bobbin helmets or bikes. Give the gift of visibility and ensure your cyclist stays safe and secure, day or night!

Bike Attachments

These add-obs are cool updates for bicycles of any size or design. They enhance the thrill on the road, ensuring enthusiasts of all ages get the most out of every pedal.

Bike racks

Racks, like baskets, serve as handy shelves for bicycles, providing a place to carry things. They’re great for transporting bags, groceries, or even gifts! They make biking more convenient, freeing up your hands and ensuring a smoother ride. This makes them a practical present, adding convenience and style to your loved one’s rides. Ready to make their cycling adventures even better?

Panniers

A bike pannier attaches to the sides of the bicycle, such as a commuter bike. Think of it as a modern alternative to rattan baskets. It can accommodate groceries, a change of clothes (e.g., bike to work outfit), or anything you need on the go. Moreover, it distributes weight evenly, making rides more balanced. So, this Valentine’s Day, get your favourite rider’s style with a chic pannier.

Bike lights

Small but mighty bicycle lights illuminate every ride, lighting up the path. They’re crucial for safety, making cyclists easily seen by others, especially at night. Beyond safety, they add a cool factor to the two wheels. These accessories make a thoughtful present for any occasion, including Hearts Day. Gift the glow and let your special someone ride with confidence!

The 12 inch bike wheels are perfect for this age group, providing stability and control. As toddlers progress, they acquire the balance needed for a smooth pedal transition. This ensures a more confident and enjoyable riding experience in the future.
• Bike with stabilisers: The 12” and 16” wheels offer a familiar and comfortable size. However, the addition of stabilisers provides added support. This allows kids to focus on pedalling and steering without the initial fear of falling. As their confidence and skills grow, parents can gradually raise the training wheels.
• 20”bikes: A 20” wheel bike is designed for kids in the age group of 6 to 10 years. It’s a pivotal step in a child’s cycling journey, bridging the gap between smaller and adult-sized bikes.
