As the days begin to get shorter and the temperature starts to drop riding becomes more challenging. The key to dressing for cold weather riding is layering, this allows you to add or remove items as the weather or your exertion level changes. Vests, jackets and warmers that can be rolled up and put into a jersey pocket are the key.

The first consideration when looking to purchase lights for your bike is whether you need to see where you’re going or be seen by other road users. Lights designed to see will usually be much brighter, have a larger battery to ensure suitable run times along with a narrower beam focused to illuminate the road ahead of you.
