Getting ready for the  back-to-school season by bike

As the new school year approaches, all cycling enthusiasts are getting ready to hit the road again with enthusiasm. For an enjoyable and safe cycling experience, being well equipped is essential.

In this article, we will explore the essential elements of a cyclist's kit in 2023

equipped from head to...

Helmet and protective gear 

Safety always remains THE priority. Start by choosing a high-quality helmet that offers optimal protection in the event of an accident.
Beyond physical protection, wearing a helmet can also influence road behaviour by sending a positive safety message to other road users.

Our recommendation for 2023 is the Brooks Island helmet by the brand "Lime", combining performance and style so you can ride with confidence.

...on your feet!

Sports shoes

Feet are put to work and are vulnerable during cycling outings. Opt for sports shoes specifically designed for this type of activity, with good ankle support for optimal protection. You'll find a wide range of shoes at Decathlon that combine style and functionality, meeting your needs.

Equipment suited to weather conditions 

Weather conditions can be unpredictable, especially as autumn approaches. To stay dry during bad weather, invest in quality rain gear, such as waterproof jackets and water-resistant gloves.

The brand Flotte offers practical options to protect you from unexpected showers and keep you pedaling comfortably.

The essential companion for all your bike rides: Shapeheart!

Smart phone accessories

With the ever-present nature of technology, having an adequate mount for your phone during your rides can be essential. "Shapeheart" stands out by offering a phone mount designed specifically for cyclists. Its innovative magnetic mounting system allows you to securely attach your phone to the handlebar or stem of your bike, providing convenient navigation while keeping your eyes on the road. 

Practical luggage 

If you need to carry your personal belongings during your rides, functional luggage is essential. Waterproof bags, ergonomic backpacks, and luggage racks can make transporting your belongings easier and safer.

En Selle Marcel offers smart luggage solutions to meet cyclists' needs, such as backpacks, baskets, luggage racks...

As always, the back-to-school season is an opportunity to renew your gear. By carefully choosing your equipment — from helmets to phone accessories and protective clothing — you'll be able to fully enjoy every ride in complete safety. So get ready for an exciting and worry-free sporting season.
