The Importance of Cycling Accessories

Cycling accessories are really important for every cyclist who wants to improve on the bike whether racing, commuting or enjoying.

We have seen that cycling accessories are becoming increasingly purchased online due to the money saving deals offered by the online bicycle stores in the UK and globally.

Not only are we seeing cycling grow in popularity overall, but we are seeing a reshaping of the u demographics of men and women who take part in cycling as a sport both competitively and for fitness and leisure cycling.

As an online bike shop in the UK, we try to keep up to date with what is happening in cycling in the UK and recent market research shows that cyclists and all members of the UK cycling community are moving more and more to buying bike parts and cycling accessories online.
The jump in growth in cycling has seen the landscape change with the expansion of online bicycle stores across the web who offer discounted pricing on cycle parts, bicycle clothing, cycling accessories, sports nutrition and bike components from all the major brands, where the cyclist can now save up to 60% against high street shops.

While everyone who works here at Alimay Sports have been involved in cycling for a long time, and we've worked with many bike stores, we are seeing many changes from those who sell bicycles, bicycle parts, cycling accessories and all things cycling.
Many Local Bike Shops are moving towards focusing on servicing bicycles and becoming experts in what can't be provided online, and others are expanding with online presence as well.

There is definitely room in the UK for many different channels for cyclists to mix and match how they manage their cycling as a hobby/sport.

Shopping online means more than just bicycle parts, cycling clothing  plus sports nutrition aimed specially at cyclists. The cycle forums are full of posts saying that purchasing bicycle accessories online, including bike parts, wheels, pedals, seats, and more usually cost 20-30% below the traditional bicycle shop prices.

Cycling accessories and bike parts are only a small part of what is important for cyclists in the UK.
We try to provide a holistic line of information for cyclists that discusses all issues for cycling in the UK whether that is performance, health, enjoyment, safety, or spending money for the thrill of a new bicycle product!

While we try to focus on selling the products that cyclists buy most often, the list of cycling accessories that are available could fill 50 pages of our online bike store. So to improve on the experience for cyclists shopping online, we try to focus on small ranges of  the most important and useful bike products from the brands that bring the best products to market both in features for cyclists and prices to keep your wallet on the right side of your financial preferences.
So this means we have bike parts and cycling accessories from brands such as Continental, SRAM, Clarks, Zipp, PowerBar, Santini, and Quarq plus so many more.

Aura LED Cycling and Sports Belts

Just take a look at this marvelous cycling wonder.

Cyclists always need to be seen on the roads, and this new product makes it possible with an LED Strip that wraps around the entire belt so that cyclists and runners can get full 360 degree hi-visibility coverage.

While there a lot hi-viz options available, this works great as an option for cyclists all year round. If the weather is cold, now you can wear whatever your favourite, warmest and most waterproof jacket is and just wrap the Aura LED Sports Belt around you for added visibility.

Additionally, when you get too warm cycling, you don't have to sacrifice the perfect temperature just so you can be seen cycling or running in low light.
Just put the Aura LED Sports Belt around you and you've got high visibility on the roads.

The Aura LED Sports Belt comes in colour options of green, blue, orange, yellow and red. You can buy the Aura LED Sports Belt in the UK on Alimay Sports, the online bicycle shop for bicycle parts and cycling accessories.

Cycling Sunglasses

A Christmas Gift for a cyclist is never typically going to be something most people associate with summer, but cycling sunglasses are important for cyclists every day of the year.

While Cycling Glasses may not be so important for cyclists on an indoor turbo trainer session, every bike ride that happens outdoors should always be seen through sunglasses.

The sunglasses don't have to be dark, they can always be light like the ones below too.

The important thing about cycling glasses is that you protect your eyes in two ways - from the sun, and from dirt.

If you are shopping for a Christmas Gift for a cyclist then this could be the ideal thing. There are some great prices on cycling glasses and cycling clothing, so you don't have to break the bank while finding the perfect gift.

Every Cyclist loves new cycling gear, and by buying him/her a new pair of glasses then you could be doing them a real service by protecting them and keeping them safe.

Cyclists have so many aspects to cover when cycling as a hobby, as a means of transport, or as a sport. The correct bike parts, good cycling accessories and the right equipment is all essential to keep safe on every bike ride and ensure that every ride is enjoyable.

How Important are Cycling Base Layers?

Cyclists are always looking for the best cycling clothing. That includes cycling clothing that is on show to every other cyclist, and even the cycling clothing that other cyclists never see.

Alimay Sports as an online bike shop, understand the importance that the best cycling clothing plays in every cyclists life. This is why there is such a great selection of cycling base layers on the uk bike shops website.

Base Layers play an important role for cyclists in a number of ways. They help to control a cyclists body temperature as they cycle in both warm conditions and cold conditions.

Base Layers also help to wick away sweat and this is important in regulating a cyclists body temperature. As you cycle and sweat, the function of sweat is to cool down your skin, so if you're cycling and the sweat is sticking to your jersey, it will stay and get cooler than you want and the damp and cold feeling both harms your concentration and your performance.
A good cycling base layer will help to wick away sweat and prevent you from getting too cool and it prevents the damp feeling.

Cyclists also benefit from the protection that a base layer provides in the case of a bike crash. If a cyclist crashes his or her bicycle, they often come down on a very hard surface and a base layer helps to give a layer of protection between the road and your skin so that road rash isn't as big a problem for you, if you were cycling without a base layer.

If you are interested in optimising your cycling performance, then you can check out Alimay Sports for their cycling clothing and all things related to cycling.
