Days drawing in…

As the days get shorter we all need to think about lights and some warmer clothing. I myself got caught out needing another layer the other evening, and lacking a good-enough front light – after a  puncture and too long a stop at a pub made it later than I intended ( a bit self inflicted I know!)……. So armed with a new Bontrager ion700 front light and a new X-bionic Leg, Arm warmers and a Gillet I’m now ready for anything…. The X Bionic clothing is a bit of a treat, but its such good kit -and having ridden the bibs and jersey for a season I know how well it works at regulating temperature. The performance and comfort benefits are well worth the investment – and after a recent price “correction” (to harmonise with Euro pricing, as its made in Italy – and Swiss designed) its not much more than good quality makes like Pearl Izumi anyway….. Trying is believing – so ask us about our Demo kit….. Simon…… New Clothing from Bontrager and X Bionic now in stock, and new Lights from Bontrager, Cateye, USE and Lezene now all in stock at the shop.
