If you\u2019re worried about safety or a tailored fit, visit your local bike shop. But some items are well worth saving money on \u2013 and we\u2019ve done the homework for you\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

A pair of gloves $3.85<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gloves work on the same equation as bicycles \u2013 you own N+1 pairs of gloves where N is the number of gloves you own. Any winter cyclist will be glad to open this pair<\/a> on Christmas day. The snug fit with Lycra stretch will keep you comfortable on the bars, while viscose microfibre will keep your fingers toasty.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Carbon bottle cage $9.01<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Evans list the Bontrager RXXXL Carbon Bottle Cage<\/a> for \u00a344.99, and weighing in at 19g you can see the appeal for the weight-watchers<\/em> in your cycle club. However, a Chinese company is happy to send you the RXL SL<\/a> for the unbelievably low price of $9.01 and guess what?\u00a0 It\u2019s a gram lighter than the Bontrager.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Carbon-fibre seatpost $20.88<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hurry if you want to snap this up<\/a> at the sale price! Because usually it costs $24.86!\u00a0 I know, right?\u00a0 Not exactly going to break the bank.\u00a0 For that money you get a 400mm seatpost with a 25mm offset weighing in at 190g.\u00a0 For some perspective, the same spec product by the excellent Syncros<\/a> will set you back \u00a3116.99 \u2013 and weigh 20g more.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Clear goggles $10.79<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If, like me, you insist on cycling all winter, chances are you\u2019re going to do a lot of cycling in the dark. I love winter, but I don\u2019t like freezing cold eyeballs.\u00a0 It\u2019s time to get some clear lens glasses<\/a> \u2013 oh\u2026 and these are vented to reduce fogging when you stop at the lights. I confess, I\u2019ll be sticking to my unobtanium gilded UV protection<\/a> in summer, but come winter, I don\u2019t want the salt getting to them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Shimano SPD MTB pedals $40.33 including postage<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the time of writing, these are 25% off, but even at full price (just ten dollars more) you get authentic Shimano SPD clipless hardware.\u00a0 Everyone knows that\u2019s an unbelievable deal.\u00a0 If you can find a better deal for 455g-per-pair MTB SPDs \u2013 please comment below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Town-bike cockpit stash $18.74<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If your friend has lots of deliveries to make around town and prefers a ride with high front clearance, this is the perfect present<\/a>.\u00a0 It\u2019ll keep the worst of the weather off your mobile, but allow you to remain alert to all your incoming calls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Side bags allow you to stash the goods enabling you to ply your trade around town.\u00a0 Keep some gas canisters<\/a> in there in case a damsel in distress needs to inflate tyres.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
