Top 10 cycling gadgets: See.Sense, Lock8, Firefly and more

Ever since the Olympics, more and more women in the UK are getting on their bikes, with Sport England reporting a 200,000 increase in regular cyclists and this year’s Tour de France kicking off in Yorkshire only adding to our enthusiasm for literally jumping on the saddle. But whether you see yourself as the next Victoria Pendleton or simply like biking to work, you probably want to stay safe, keep track of your fitness progress, and of course, have constant access to your phone. Here are a few gadgets and gizmos to increase your pedal power.

Lezyne CRV 20 Multitool

Picture 9 of 10

Who doesn’t love a pocketknife? And here’s one that’s specially designed for cyclists, with everything you might need to patch up your bike, whether you hit trouble on a long ride or a short commute. Lezyne’s products are designed to be lightweight, durable and easy to use even when wearing gloves. This multitool contains a steel chain breaker, different sized Allen keys (2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8mm) Philips and flat head screwdrivers, a T25 Torx bit, tire lever, three spoke wrenches, a disc brake pad expander, serrated knife, and perhaps most essential of all, a bottle opener.

It’s £27.95 from Bike Tart (which I think they mean as a compliment).
