Caroline Dodgson

Very good choice if you want on- and off-road versatility and the comfort of suspension in a step-through frame

Spacious top tube caddy, if your phone can fit in it

Interesting looking helmet, but pricey, and some design issues mean there's room for improvement

A bell with a lovely tone, but check where you want to place it before purchase

Basic jersey at bargain basement price, with looks and lack of features to match

Great mid-weight choice and good value, recommended for daily riding in cooler conditions

Good value summer staple for short rides

A lovely hot weather jersey with pockets. Did I mention the pockets? Oh, so many pockets!

Pretty and practical about town bike – not the most fun ride, but what it lacks in spec it makes up for in style

Useful extra bag to keep on the bike for unexpected (dry) shopping trips
