Fremonster Flap:
An urban commuter’s dream bike bag, complete with neoprene laptop sleeve, stowable rain cover and reflective detailing. This is the bag that’s large enough for market or work. Two simple clips attach it to your bike; shoulder strap for off bike utility.
For the Hardcore Roadie
Element GT AS Jacket by GORE
A closet must-have for cyclists, this versatile and lightweight GORE-TEX Active Shell Element GT is the #1 jacket for every kind of bad weather. Guaranteed rain and wind protection in a lightweight also makes this jacket our go-to choice for touring.
Especially lightweight and compact overshoes feature GORE-TEX technology and are water/windproof, yet still breathable, ensuring warm feet even in bad weather.
For Lowlight Conditions
Helmet Cover by GORE
Gore Bike Wear’s Universal 2.0 GT Helmet Cover provides maximum comfort and protection during varied weather conditions. Breathable, GORE-TEX® technology is waterproof and windproof. The compact cover fits over your helmet and folds up small.
Escape Rain Jacket by Craft
The Escape Rain Jacket is a high viz traffic stopper as well as being completely wind- and waterproof, with zippered ventilation openings.
WINDSTOPPER® exterior, high visibilty and convertibility from jacket to vest – it doesn’t get more versatile than Gore Bike Wear’s Element AS Zip Off Jacket. It’s almost like having a multi-tool in your cycling kit. We like it!
Now that we’ve gone over gear – it’s time to do a little dancing.
Love the Escape Rain Jacket – the bright yellow color is important and the pink trim just makes it FUN! Love having something slightly different from the rest of the “peloton” 🙂
