Getting  back-to-school ready by bike

As the new school year approaches, all cycling enthusiasts are getting ready to hit the road 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 gear in 2023

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 message about safety 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 complete confidence.

Sports shoes

Your feet take a lot of strain and are vulnerable during bike rides. Opt for sports shoes specially designed for this type of activity, with good ankle support for optimal protection. At Decathlon you'll find a wide range of shoes that combine style and functionality to meet your needs.

Weather-appropriate gear 

Weather conditions can be unpredictable, especially as autumn approaches. To stay dry in 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 allow you to keep pedalling comfortably.

The essential companion for all your cycling rides: Shapeheart!

Smart phone accessories

With technology omnipresent in our lives, having a suitable phone mount during your rides can be essential. "Shapeheart" stands out by offering a phone mount specially designed for cyclists. Its innovative magnetic mounting system lets you securely attach your phone to your handlebar or stem, giving you 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 it easier to transport your gear safely.

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 refresh 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.
