When Cycling, Bicycle Clothing such as Arm Warmers and Leg warmers are an essential part of a cyclist's attire during the winter months as the weather is so unpredictable.
Alimay Sports have put together the brands that have made great lengths to improve the comfort, fit, and warmth of arm warmers and leg warmers. You need something from Polaris on those cooler days to provide a little extra warmth. We're not talking full on winter protection, just a thin enough layer to allow the muscles to function without the cold seeping in.
A bicycle clothing brand such as Polaris recognises the need for great cycling clothing with their perfect fitting arm and leg warmers both made with polyester/lycra for warmth and comfort. As well as warmth, comfort is essential whilst cycling and Santini H2O arm and leg warmers provide comfort and also protect against the rain which makes H2O a very popular range amongst cyclist. While most leg warmers turn your ride into a game of tug-o-war from slipping and falling, the H20s stay put. Combined we a have a great variety of choice on offer.

without components is a bicycle without a soul. So for that reason, we have
included links to some pretty useful bike products for you and something that at some stage you

Bike Parts Online

accessories online is a growing part of the online UK sports marketplace due to
the popularity of cycling for leisure, travel and health. Recent web trends

parts and bicycle accessories via the online channel. The growth in cycling has

To help
list the various bike parts we have listed the major bicycle components below.
Bicycle
Frame: The bicycle frame is the backbone of the bicycle. To the frame are
attached every other component of the bicycle. Thus the frame is central to the
whole bicycle and performs the function of holding together all the parts
together and keeping the whole bike steady.
Bike
Pedals: The bicycle pedals are where the effort is applied. This effort is
transmitted through respective crank bars onto a shaft. This shaft revolves
within a hollow in the frame of the bicycle.
Bicycle
Sprocket and Chain: On the revolving shaft is mounted a sprocket. The use of
the sprocket and chain system is to transmit the rotary motion from this
revolving shaft onto another shaft, so the bike pedals the crank arms, the
shafts and the sprockets-chain system work together to convert the pedaling
effort into revolutions of the rear wheel.
Bicycle
Wheels: The bike wheels and tyres are the most important for the motion of the
bicycle. The front wheel is attached via a shaft, to a front fork attached to
the bicycle frame. As the bicycle wheel is free from constraints, the
front wheel revolves as soon as the rear wheel does so, allowing the whole
bicycle to move forward.
Bike handle-bar:
The function of the bicycle handle bar is to enable the cyclist to control the
direction of movement of the bicycle. For this, the bicycle handle bar is
connected, through the bicycle frame, to the front fork that holds the front
wheel. Thus, whenever the handle-bar is turned, the front wheel changes its
direction, leading the bike towards the intended direction.
Turbo Trainers for Winter Cycling
Every year, winter comes, it lasts for what seems an eternity, all of us cyclists grin and bear it, we cycle through the cold, wind, and rain - and then a less than average summer of cycling comes around and the cycle repeats.
Every summer, as we cycle through mediocre weather and suffer through every bicycle race - I think to myself, I'll get a great winter of cycle training done and then this time next year, I won't even feel any pain in next years bike race.
So when it comes to getting a good winter training season done on the bike, I rely heavily on my turbo trainer.
This is because it is often so busy in work, I miss the cycling groups that go out training, or else the weather is too bad for cycling outside so I resort to indoor training.
Alimay Sports, the UK Online Bike Store for Bicycle Parts and Cycling Accessories have great Tacx Turbo Trainers, the Bushido which I use, is at a great price and allows for some really good cycle training over the winter.
I always feel that a good winter cycling season that has a lot of miles, helps me and every cyclist I talk to in preparing you for the next cycling season. It means you start the first bike race with fitness the least of your worries, and it allows you to improve your bicycle racing skills and focus on what to do to perform in the race, not what to avoid so you can survive the bike race!

Cycle to your bike race or drive with a bike car rack
While not every race is close enough to cycle to, even when it is,
once you have a car rack, it becomes a lot easier to drive to the race.
It's funny that you can be lazy in getting to a cycling race, but then again a lot of us drive to the gym too.
There are some bike car racks on Alimay Sports that can put you into that cyclists dilemma and they have some interesting words on bike racks for cars:
Whether you want to call it car rack for your bike, or a bike rack for your car the important thing is that it's the bike goes on the car and not the other way round. It wouldn't be a pretty sight to see you put a car on top of your new carbon bike frame. A bike car rack is one of those accessories that's both essential for many cyclists, and also of great benefit. A car rack solves the problems you have where your bike doesn't fit in your car, or that it takes up too much space for all of your cycling clothing and bike shoes but you're going to need all of them to race.
It also provides the benefit of quick access to your bike, because you can put the bike on the car rack without having to take the bicycle apart. This way you can use for travelling to races after work, or for a cycling holiday, and focus on more on training for your next bike race and not on being a bike mechanic. Check out our collection Hollywood Bike Racks and Thule Bike Racks.

Alimay Sports: Bicycle Accessories for UK Market
Here is a great article written to discuss Bicycle Accessories for the UK Market and how people buy them.
It is a good article and reads well for those interested in bicycling and bike parts etc.
It is a good article and reads well for those interested in bicycling and bike parts etc.
Bike Parts are an important thing to get right when starting out cycling. I've learned the hard and expensive way.
While I'm a newbie to this whole thing and get excited just talking to the people I've met about how much they train and spend on bikes, I'm only getting started with cycling to work and getting out when I can.
Now that it's winter I'm highly considering buying a turbo trainer, but I just hope I have the time to use it for cycling training and it doesn't become my only trophy of cycling!
In the search for it I have felt a bit overwhelmed but did find a lot of website for bike parts and other stuff. I'm going to keep looking until I find what's right for me but there's a turbo trainer on Alimay Sports that might just be right for me.
