Choose your airline carefully when you plan your trip abroad

Tasty and refreshing drink-mix which may help you stay better hydrated and improve performance

Tasty protein bar designed to help muscle recovery after training or racing

Unusual and effective source of energy that's also tasty and refreshing; not cheap, but will be worth the money for some

Tasty mini-gels with a firm consistency. A handy source of energy on long bike rides, although can be fiddly to eat on the go

Very comfortable and reasonably light saddle, at a bargain price

Well-made gloves to protect your hands from wet or cold conditions, but stretched in heavy rain & cold

Cream to help prevent skin chaffing in the saddle-contact area; effective but not cheap

Comprehensive multi-tool, with 11 functions and solid build quality; not cheap though

Very bright rear light with a sturdy construction, but unusual clamp and stiff price are potential downsides
