Safe riding in Autumn

Now that the weather has changed and the summer is over, it is time to be a bit more cautious when out on our bikes. Unfortunately, due to the shortened days, longer hours of darkness and the changing climate, it is even more important for us cyclists to ride on the safe side.

The number one priority any cyclist should have is to make sure they are dressed correctly. You need to ensure you are wearing a helmet. Now more than ever, it is important to protect your head just in case something happens such as you slide out of control in the wet. Primera stock a number of different brands from Specialized to Giro and in a variety of different styles.

Now is the time to put away those summer baselayers, and replace them with warmer long-sleeved baselayers teamed with a gilet or waterproof jacket. Luckily for you, Assos, Gore Bike Wear and Endura clothing have a great range to choose from and here at Primera, we stock them in all sizes.

Finally, it is recommended that you invest in some high quality lights and reflective clothing, especially if you plan on riding at night. These will help you see and be seen by other road users and will go a long way towards keeping you safe on the road. Choose from a variety of different lights from brands such as Hope, USE and Cat eye. Why not visit our website to find out more.
