Taking to the saddle to avoid the crowds on public transport or the gridlock of the roads? Great, you are going to love it! But what to wear? To get the answer we turn to Catherine Ellis, founder of Hill & Ellis, which produces a range of high quality, stylish cycle bags. Each bag, designed in the UK, is created to transition perfectly from home to bike to boardroom to bar. There hasn’t been a better time to cycle. Since the pandemic started, air pollution in some UK cities has reduced by a huge 40%, road traffic has dropped significantly and £2 billion pounds is going to be invested into cycling infrastructure to increase and improve bike lanes and cycle routes. It’s no wonder cycling is fast becoming the best solution for getting to work as the pandemic continues; crowd free, gridlock free, and free. Oh, and with the delight of the long summer days, there is no better season to take to the bike. You can breathe a sigh of relief that cycling to work no longer means inappropriately fitted Lycra, as young brands are designing for life with a saddle. Here are some of the best independent brands, designing stylish kit that works for life on and off the bike:
