Whether you’ve suffered a puncture, or feeling flat because you forgot to eat enough, our bicycle breakdown bottle might be the answer.
Water bottle storage holders are good alternative to a saddlebag, particularly in wet weather. We’ve filled ours with the essentials: A puncture repair kit; small pump; rechargeable back-up lights; latex gloves and a generous stock of snack bars.

Cycle Rescue
Bicycles are supremely dependable machines, but occasionally they do break down. Even the shortest journey comes to an abrupt halt if you can’t fix a flat tyre, broken chain or buckled wheel at the roadside. And if you’re unlucky enough to lose your bike lock key, your ride home may not begin in the first place.
It’s why 30 years ago we launched Cycle Rescue – the UK’s first breakdown cover for bicycles.
ETA Cycle Rescue covers all kinds of cycle including trikes and cargo bikes. If you ride an e-bike, you’ll be covered against breakdowns caused by mechanical faults, electrical problems, punctures or a flat battery.
How much does bicycle breakdown cost?
Cycle Rescue costs only £24 per year with no hidden extras to pay if your bicycle suffers a breakdown.
How does bicycle breakdown cover work?
When you suffer a breakdown (including punctures) while out cycling, or are unable to continue due to an injury, our 24-hour Cycle Rescue team is on hand to arrange transport for you and your bicycle to a safe location.
Should your bicycle lock be vandalised, we can send a recovery vehicle to assist you or pay for a locksmith. The same goes for lost keys if you’re unable to continue your ride.
We are proud to be rated Britain’s most ethical provider by The Good Shopping Guide.
The ethical choice

The Good Shopping Guide judges us to be the UK’s most ethical provider.

When we had a car we used ETA for our breakdown cover and, unfortunately, had to call on it a few times. It was a great service. Now we have bicycles only, so far we’ve been able to fix our own breakdowns and the bottle would make fixing them ourselves even simpler! If we couldn’t sort the problem we’d be sustained by those tempting bars until ETA help arrives!
Martin Broomfield
If there was ever a bonus for breaking down this’d be it!
Andy C
Great idea. Every bike should have one
Kathy C
I’ve got odds and sods of bicycle kit but having it all together would be great.
Glyn
Reassuring to see tire levers included with the repair kit, but is there room for a wrench (or even a multitool) in there? I’m going to need to get the wheel off in the first place.
Jason
Fingers crossed, lovely prize

This might actually get me to carry a puncture repair kit …
Melanie
Ohh naked bars are great (although I’ll be honest I’d probably pack a crunchie bar), great idea.
Tracy
Interesting and useful idea.
Dave Anthony
Always come prepared and hopefully never have to leave the bike, or jump in a taxi (ETA service if required and far from destination)!
Kelly Smith
I’d love one of these, thank you! X
Anita Brayford

DrVic
Let’s hope I don’t get thirsty.

Perfect and easier to take off the bike when unattended than a saddlebag.
Jez
Just what I need
Les Gunbie
Psssssss ….
james
A fix it kit but not for a pc
Mags
That, plus a water bottle with a drink, would see me through till ETA breakdown arrived. Maybe I would even be able to fix it myself, but don’t bank on it!
ChrisB
what a brilliant idea and design.
Fred
What a good idea
Bazza
Should keep me pumped up!

Colin
the nakd cyclist . . .
Gillian
Nice container for ride snacks too!

What a brilliant idea! If I don’t win, I think I’ll buy one anyway.

Bryn Gwyndaf Jones
How useful !
Nathan Shipley
I’m sending out an SOS.
Fran
Very neat – like it !
Jamie J
Love it.Brilliant idea…
Paul B
I’ve relied on ETA insurance for all the 10 years I’ve owned my road bike. I haven’t found a better alternative yet.
Road breakdown cover looks interesting especially if injury prevents me from doing what I’ve always managed to do: repair a puncture on the spot.
Ema A
Good idea! 🚲
JohnB
Would love one!
Paul
Likey👍
