Cycling Gloves in Winter

On such a cold day for cycling like today and after seeing some of the terrible weather, we want to share our opinion on wearing cycling gloves while out and about in the UK.

Cycling in the UK can bring some nasty weather at any time of the year, so that's why Alimay Sports have cycling clothing for all weather.

Cycling Gloves are stocked in full finger winter cycling gloves, full finger mountain bike gloves and classic road cycling mitts for when the weather is warm enough to cycle with those digits exposed to the elements.
However, let's talk about the cold weather and how important it is to stay warm when cycling.

Cycling Gloves provide two functions throughout the year. One of those functions is important all year round, and that is protection for cyclists hands in case of a crash or fall.

The other cycling gloves function is to keep warmth in your hands, and this is so important when cycling in colder months.
Cycling gloves help to keep blood circulating through your hands and all the way to the tips of your fingers.
By maintaining good blood flow in your fingers, it gives you better tactile response and gives you better handling of your bike and on the levers



If there's one thing that you need to invest in, it's a pair of good cycling gloves that offer wind protection and water protection, because even though we train our legs heavily, our hands are just as important when cycling a bike!

Cycling Glasses

Cyclists have a lot of things to worry about when it comes to protecting themselves while riding their bikes.
Being cyclists here at Alimay Sports, we don't want to try to tell people what they should do, but we like to share what we like to do while riding our bikes.

Cycling Clothing has come a long way in recent years, thanks to a lot of research and development in the clothes that cyclists wear. Of course, the rise in popularity of cycling has meant that there are more people interested in providing better options for cyclists.

One of the important areas for cyclists to consider is cycling glasses as they provide more than the typical benefits associated with sunglasses.
Cycling Sunglasses provide the first feature that any sunglasses provide, and that is protection for the eyes against UV Light. Cyclists can really suffer from damage to the eyes, even in the UK where the sun never seems to be out.






Cycling Glasses and eyewear provides an almost equally crucial benefit by protecting your eyes from objects entering underneath the eyelid and damaging the eyes.
On sunny days, cycling through the flies is typically the biggest worry for cyclists as they can enter your mouth for an unpleasant experience and taste!
Additionally, while it doesn't have to be wet for this to happen, cycling on roads in the UK very often presents cyclists with a lot of muck, grit and dirt.
When it is dry, cyclists can experience dirt bouncing up off the road but especially when it's wet - if you're cycling in a group then you are going to have a lot of water splashing off bike tyres and onto your face.

Cycling in wet weather will lead to an inevitable mucky face, and while you can wash your face, dirt in your eyes can often cause irreversible damage and so we recommend you wear some cycling sunglasses or some form of cycling eyewear to cover your eyes.

So don't just worry about the best bicycle parts and accessories, make sure you are well protected too!

The Importance of Cycling Clothing

Cyclists face the same problem every year, how do I get out of bed and onto my bike when it's freezing outside and it's so warm and cozy in my bed.

There is the saying that there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad cycling clothing. So if we get the right cycling clothing then we have nothing to worry about.
Of course, having the right bike parts and cycling accessories is important too so that you don't end up slipping and crashing your bike because of a wet and greasy road.

Of course, summer cycling clothing is just as important but seeing as we're now starting to hit some really cold weather in the UK, it seems more important to discuss winter cycling clothing.

As soon as the temperature gets into single digits in celsius, then it's definitely time to put on a pair of cycling overshoes, leg warmers at the least, a base layer, a cycling jersey, possibly a long sleeve cycling jersey and then a light jacket over that.
If you can get a cycling jacket that is breathable and waterproof then you're onto a good thing because you are covered for all conditions and you shouldn't get too warm while cycling.

Bicycle Clothing UK


When the weather for cycling starts to get really cold, especially hovering in and around zero, there is a big decision to be made by cyclists. Do you go out cycling while there's a possibility of frost and ice, or do you stay in and get on your turbo trainer?

If you're part of the cycling mindset that wants to train on the road, no matter the weather, then it's important that before you get on your bicycle that you leave as little skin open to the cold as you cycle into some freezing winds.
This means that in addition to the cycling clothing needed for cycling in single digits, you will need to get a good pair of full finger cycling gloves, a pair of heavy cycling overshoes, a good pair of bicycle tights, and even a light hat that you can wear under your bicycle helmet without sacrificing safety.
And even though it might be the depths of winter, a pair of cycling sunglasses is important to protect your eyes from insects and dirt.

Cycling Safety is still important and we will post a blog discussing the best bicycle parts and cycling accessories for that too.
