The promise of warmer weather does nothing to fend off the chill of a British springtime. The best we can do to help is give away a Merino wool jersey.
Breathable, naturally anti-bacterial and lightweight, Merino wool is perfect for cycling in the month that, in theory, comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.
Win a merino jersey
We have TRIBAN Merino long-sleeve cycling jersey to give away. To enter the draw, simply leave us a comment below and specify the size you’d like. We’ll pick a winner next week.
Safeguard your springtime cycling
Bicycles are far more dependable than British weather, 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. And if you ride an e-bike, you’ll be covered against breakdowns caused by mechanical faults, electrical problems, punctures or a flat battery.
ETA Cycle Rescue safeguards against breakdowns – including a flat battery
How much does bicycle breakdown cost?
Cycle Rescue costs only £24 per year with no hidden extras.
Breakdown cover for bicycles is as useful for experienced riders as it is for novices. After all, who knows when a breakdown is around the corner? We’ve been providing specialist cycle cover for over 30 years and we’re proud to be rated as 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.
