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.
