Gtechniq
Protect your investment with Gtechniq’s Ceramic Coating. With over 20 years of experience in the automotive industry, Gtechniq have brought their expertise to the bike sector with smart surface technology that provides exceptional protection for your bike for up to 2 years. If a new bike is on the horizon, Gtechniq’s Bike Ceramic Kit is a great addition to your purchase. We recommend applying the ultra-slick, chemically bonding layer to your frame ahead of having it built to extend that new bike look for up to 2 years.
This kit isn’t exclusively for new bikes, it just requires a thorough clean before application, as any imperfections will be sealed in under the coating. For quick top ups, Gtechniq’s Quick Coat will repel dirt for up to 6 months.
Café du Cycliste
Elevate your essential bike accessories with the new additions to our Cafe du Cycliste range: keep toasty from head to toe in their Josiane Ribbed Merino Beanie and Flying Fish cycling socks, both complete with the brand’s characterful motif. For on-bike, store an extra layer or nutrition in the Handlebar Pouch Bag, or add a little colour to your setup with Ride Pack and Tool Saddle Bag.
Fizik Tempo Artica GTX Shoes
The old adage that ‘there’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing,’ rings true when it comes to the Fizik Tempo Artica GTX shoes. Hard-wearing boots for deep winter conditions, these shoes are a complete solution for warm feet throughout the winter, negating the need to wear overshoes with them.
Fully waterproof, these winter-specific cycling shoes are insulated with a brushed fleece lining. They use an advanced GORE-TEX membrane that boasts improved breathability, keeping rain and road spray out, and feet warm and dry. Moderately stiff, super warm, and with a clean aesthetic to boot, these are the shoes for single-digit temperatures.

Welcoming and community-driven, this mellow brand is all about enjoying the ride.
