Power your bike rides with a solar phone charger

This rare stretch of uninterrupted blue skies is the perfect time to ride – and recharge – with the sun.

We’re giving away a portable solar panel that turns every golden ray into energy for your phone, ipods, tablet or cycle computer. And with most of us basking in a rare spell of uninterrupted sunshine, there’s never been a better time to soak up the benefits.

Whether you're plotting scenic routes, recording your rides, or calling our Cycle Rescue service when your chain gives up before you do, a dead phone is no use to anyone. That’s where this nifty little solar panel comes in.

Designed with cyclists and adventurers in mind, the panel harnesses up to 1A in direct sunlight and feeds it into a hefty 25,000mAh battery. That's enough juice to recharge most smartphones around 10 times - more than enough to keep you charged through a week of cycling, snapping, navigating, and staying connected.

And if your ride takes you off-grid – say, down a canal path or onto a moor where phone signal and streetlights are equally rare – this solar charger has your back. An integrated LED torch and strobe light help you see and be seen.

Want to win a portable solar panel?

Just leave us a message below and we’ll pick a winner next week. Until then, make the most of the sunshine.
