Merino wool: Stay snug while springtime cycling
April 23, 2024
British springtime is notoriously fickle, but clothing made from merino wool allows you to laugh in the face of below-average temperatures.
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.

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.
How much does bicycle breakdown cost?
Cycle Rescue costs only £24 per year with no hidden extras.
