Escape: Wheel Women (and their cycling accessories)

lsykes April 12, 2014

In April's issue of The Simple Things, we get back on the road with a quick spring bike health-check (page 20) and a look back at the history of women and cycling, as told through a Victorian cycling manual for ladies (p86). Fellow bike lovers, gather round. We've picked some of our favourite cycling accessories to make this season's riding as pretty as a picture.

Clockwise from top left:

1. 'Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride' - we wholeheartedly agree! Emu Designs, £11.62 2. This clever gadget solves the dilemma of how to transport a bottle on a bike picnic. Bicycle wine rack, Cycle Chic, £34.99 3. Cycling helmets don't have to look so, well, practical. We love this super sleek gloss helmet by Sahn, Cycle Chic, £89 4. Carry your laptop safely with this charcoal pannier, Bolzano, Cycle Chic, £55 5. Buy British! We love the sound of this bell made by the only company manufacturing bicycle bells in the UK. Lion Bellworks, from £14.95 6. Keep your bicycle tools close and hand in this stylish leather bag. Trick and Thread, £38.17

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
