14 . Water Bottles
When riding in hot weather you'll need to increase your body's liquid intake. Bicycle water bottles are available in attractive fashion
colours in various sizes and are conveniently carried in frame mounted carry cages.
15 . Gloves
Bicycle gloves help prevent soreness and blisters on your hands during long rides and also give protection in the event of a fall.
They are available in a variety of great looking fashion colours and designs.
Cycling requires a certain amount of skill and concentration to ride safely and in control. While fitting accessories to
your bike can add enjoyment to your cycling experience, it is strongly recommended that any adjustments or actions
that would change your normal riding position should be avoided, as the slightest of accidents which could occur can
still cause injury.
Some of these actions may be as simple as helmet adjustment, changing mode on your cycle computer, reaching into
a saddle bag or pannier for a ringing mobile phone, mirror or light adjustments or simply reaching for your water
bottle. All of these actions should be carried out while you and your bike are stationary and moved to the side of the
road, path or trail.
By obeying the road laws, riding safely and in control, your riding experience will be enjoyable and incident free.
