Bike Week is Cycling UK's Celebration of cycling, and this week falls on the 8th - 14th June. Bike week aims to show how cycling can change people's lives for the better and also benefit communities.
If you are feeling inspired to get back on the bike, we've put together a few essentials that will make your journey easier!
The first thing we're picking up is this Heavy Duty Bike Lock*. Whether you're commuting to work or going for a relaxed ride in the countryside, we all love the peace of mind that our bike will be safe when we leave it unattended. This lock has a silicone coating, meaning all screws are concealed and covered - this makes it harder for wanna be thieves to cut into, but also protects your bike!

Another cycle essential is a repair kit - we've found this 72-piece kit* with a handy saddle bag, meaning you can easily take it with you on long trips. This contains a range of handy tools to quickly repair minor issues and get your back moving.

If you're using a Sat Nav on our bike, then it makes it much easier (and safer!) to have a mount for your phone to keep your hands free. We like this specially designed Bike Phone Holder*. The universal design will hold any model of phone, and the holder is made of a high-grade polycarbonate, meaning your phone will be held securely without slipping.
If you want to use a GPS that's a little more specialised, it might be time to upgrade! This CYCPLUS GPS Bicycle Computer* has over 100 hours battery life, and measures other metrics such as speed gradient and altitude, to allow for more accurate tracking of your rides and progress.

If you're looking to get little ones into cycling and also teach them about safety, these Bike Spoke Beads* are a really cute way to start! These bright beads easily clip onto spokes and are a great way to get your little one interested in bike care and maintenance, as well as making bikes more visible! Each pack contains a mix of colours, so everyone can experience the fun!

British Summer weather can be unpredictable at best, but when you're cycling, wearing a jacket or coat can also be a bit warm and bulky. To make life easier, we've had a look for a jacket designed specifically for cycling. This FDX Men’s Cycling Jacket* has high visibility including reflective stripes, waterproof and windproof, and is great for cycling as well as running and general outdoor use.
