Last week’s bargains

Wearing proper, protective bike kit has overwhelming advantages so obvious that we don’t need to go over them here. But when it’s properly hot, the temptation to drop heavy clobber that doesn’t breathe can start to creep in. Especially if we’re just hopping across town or nipping out to meet a mate for a coffee.

But there are so many ventilated, perforated or mesh options around these days that there’s absolutely no excuse for giving in to that voice in the back of your head telling you it’ll be fine. And that goes for boots, such as these casual-looking Kickbacks from Oxford, too:
