There is a lot of kit and equipment out there and sometimes it’s difficult to know what to pick but there are certain items that would make either great stocking fillers or definitely be a necessity to every female cyclist’s needs.

Very Pinteresting

What the heck is Pinterest?
It’s like an online noticeboard. Or an online scrapbook. Or an online ‘mood board’.
Photos are called ‘pins’. Themed collections of photos are called ‘boards’.
Confused? Just have a look and it will all make sense pretty quick. It’s a visual thang. It’s great for discovering stuff and saving things in a handy way.
