Latest cycling top boasts shape-shifting cells

shape shifting cycling top

The best way to keep a cycling top smelling fresh is to cram it full of living cells.

Scientists at America’s MIT have designed a breathable top with ventilation flaps lined with living microbial cells that shrink and expand in response to changes in humidity. The cells are so strong that they can induce bending of the ventilation flaps so they open and close in response to the rider’s body heat and sweat.

Ethical cycle insurance

Many insurers use the term, ‘new for old’ but if your bicycle is more than a few years old, devalue it severely if you need to make a claim. This means you are left out of pocket when you come to replace it.

With ETA cycle insurance, however old the bike, if it’s stolen you get enough to buy a new model. This is just one of the things that sets us apart.

Every cycle insurance policy you buy from us helps support the work of the ETA Trust, our charity campaigning for a cleaner, safer transport future. No wonder The Good Shopping Guide has voted us Britain’s most ethical insurance company.
