I was delighted to be sent an XL cycling jersey by the Spinal Injuries Association, along with an interesting fund-raising pack. I’ll certainly be wearing this on my long ride – today though I had to cover it with my winter cycling jacket due to the strong northerly wind maintaining temperatures below 10C!
My helmet is from Lumos. I participated in a Kickstarter fund-raiser for this helmet. It has built in front and rear lights – as well as left and right rear indicators; it is due to get a firmware upgrade to show red when braking, but that seems to be taking a while. All of the above adds to bike safety in my view – assuming the lights are not too distracting to motorists!
