This is a stow-away jacket with just that little bit more to it than the roadie-centric minimalist options you sometimes see. Back vent, microfleece collar, underarm mesh panelling, reflective accents, storage security pocket. If you dig the blue and neon yellow colourway you’re quids in.

Oakley Trillbe Iridium glasses – £110.00 – £65.20

Troy Lee Designs A1 helmet – £109.99 – £65.49

Are these even more boring boring than the storage hooks? Maybe. But whilst you’re busy sorting out your bike storage you really should be looking into sorting out your bike cleaning set-up and logistics.
