Top things to have if you are a cyclist

These top five are not just for the bike but for the owner too when out and about riding. Get those bike pedals ready because here they come.

5.
The brilliant energy bar and gel.
These things are great for anytime before or after the events you take part in as they restore the essentials you have just lost or about to lose making you feel a lot better. There is even a gel out there that when used overtime can help support you to build up muscles safley. Of course the gel can also be used on the move.

4. It had to be in somewhere, the bike helmet
No real cyclist could really get anywhere without one of these. This really is only in the top five as it is so vital for cyclists to own one.The range of helmets out on the market is huge and some are even made to suite different weather climates.

3.The small onboard computer
Having this is what really makes you a proffessonal cyclist in my opinion. These are so easily attached to the bike and can really help out during a training session.

• Current Speed
• Odometer
• Trip Distance
• Elapsed time
• 12/24hr clock
• Average Speed
• Pacer
• Maximum Speed
• Dual Wheel
• Temperature
• Cadence

2. Wheels
This really is at number two purely because I love to change the wheels on my bicycle. There are thousands of designs to use ranging from the plain wheels that come with every bike or various other ones like zipp wheels.

1.If your going out and forget this then do not bother carrying on, is the reason why this is at number one. Its not exciting, its not brilliant technology.
A water bottle comes in at number one simply because it is the one thing that if you forget you really cannot go through with the ride.

There it is, the top five things to take with you when you are out cycling with a racing bike.

Bikes shops Sussex is a perfect example, have fun!

How do you close the top of a St. Ives lotion bottle?

I have a new St. Ives lotion and I wanted to know how you get the top of the bottle to look like its brand new, or how to carry it around without it getting all over. Thanks

just twist it the way it says at the top of the pump
