Cold weather cosy kit up for grabs

cold weather cycling

Stay toasty on your bike this winter with this collection of merino wool clothing that’s up for grabs.  Merino wool feels soft, insulates well and wicks moisture away from your skin to help you feel comfortable so we’ve put together a hat, neck warmer and gloves combo. To be in with a chance of winning, leave us a comment below and we’ll pick a winner next week.

ETA cycle insurance

Ethical cycle insurance

On the face of it, one cycle insurance policy is much like another, but the devil is the detail. Check your small print for so-called ‘new-for-old’ replacement – many insurers use the term, but if your bicycle is more than a few years old, devalue it severely. 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. Furthermore, every cycle insurance policy you buy from us helps support the work of the ETA Trust, our charity campaigning for a cleaner and safer transport future. Little wonder The Good Shopping Guide has judged us to be Britain’s most ethical insurance company.

    Do your children borrow and then lose your special, warm, lovely, carefully cared for over the years cycle gear? Yep, me too. Yes please to these.

    Merino is ideal for winter – I’ve got a long sleeve Merino top, thin and light but very effective.

    I’ve got these gloves. They are excellent but after years of wear they are falling apart so a replacement would be wonderful. And the other bits a bonus!

    The older I get the more I get numb white fingers and I find it difficult to get suitable gloves that prevent this. Maybe this is a promising help, so would love to try them.
