Bringing everything you need to work might sound like a nightmare when your mode of transport is a bike, but this compartmented bag has space for your laptop, papers, pass, wallet and more, so you can keep your stuff as structured as your gym workout.

As well as a spacious main compartment, which has a padded laptop sleeve accessible from the inside and outside, the bag also includes an internal hidden travel pass holder for extra security.

An adjustable shoulder strap and an extra detachable, adjustable bike strap, means you don’t have to worry about the bag shifting around as you pedal, decreasing your chances of a potential unintended dismount. The reflective logo and bike light webbing loop increases your visibility so you can be seen whatever time you’re commuting.

Gone are the days of wearing a bulky, ill-fitting helmet with Lazer’s new black and white Helium, which will keep you looking smart and safe whether you’re racing on the roads or weaving in and out of traffic on your daily commute.

The Rollsys fit system means you can conveniently control the size and comfort of the helmet by turning a wheel at the top, which symmetrically tightens without affecting the pressure points on your head or worsening that unexpected mid-week hangover.

It also has an integrated red light that can be set to constant or flashing for maximum visibility. Aqua gel pads and 19 cooling vents keep your head cool and comfortable, while special channels redirect sweat away from your eyes so you can keep focused on the road, or your competitor, ahead.

This versatile thermal jersey can be used for your commute all year round, providing warmth on its own during spring and autumn rides, wind resistance in winter and moisture transfer during the sweatier months.

The thermal fleece fabric provides great insulation against icy winds, with a full-length internal draft flap sealing in that precious warmth. Most importantly for your colleagues, the odour resistance means you can have an intense ride to work without them having to smell your efforts for the rest of the day.

Even in low light, the vibrant colour and reflective elements mean that you will always be visible, and the three back pockets and hidden sweat-proof pocket are really handy for transporting your on-the-go gels or supplements.
