Rain, Rain, go away… In partnership with Bike It

Staying dry in a downpour with the help of Bike It and BikeTek’s waterproof gear.

It’s getting to that time of year when the weather takes a turn and the rain starts to fall. However, that doesn’t mean you should be put off taking to two wheels. Riding a bike when you’re soaked through with rain isn’t necessarily an enjoyable experience – and it can make you lose concentration, which in turn can lead to mistakes. So it’s important to ensure you’re fully prepared and ready to tackle the rain head on.

By kitting yourself out in the right gear and making sure you’re warm and dry, riding your two wheeled machine will still be a pleasure, no matter the weather. Here’s a selection of gear from Bike It and BikeTek to help keep you dry…
