Now that it's October, it's finally the season when riding a bike feels good. Not long ago we were choosing early mornings and evenings to avoid the heat, but now there are more and more days when it's pleasant to ride even in the middle of the day.
When the easy-riding season comes around like this, I imagine many of you pull out a bike you haven't ridden for a while, or think about riding a little further afield for the first time in ages.
This is a good moment to check the condition of the bike you ride day to day. Basic maintenance such as tire pressure, brakes and chain goes without saying, but I'd also suggest taking a fresh look at the parts you use without a second thought, such as the handlebar, saddle and bags.
Changing even a few parts can make your usual bike feel fresh again, or more comfortable to ride than before. It might be worth giving your bike another look ahead of the rides of the coming season.
So this week, once again, several items you'll want to bring into your upcoming rides have arrived.
Do check out this week's new arrivals!
