They also do a single colour of jersey but no longer do the waterproof jacket. Other useful things could be kids tracksters (cotswolds, many running places). If anyone else finda anything then do post.. ...d |

Can't remember its name though. Logo is a few interconnected chain links. Quite often has a stand at York Rally (anyone got an old rally catalogue to hand?) |

on the matter anyway, I find it hard to believe that things are not readily available for children if we want to encourage them to use cycling as a form of exercise or a form of transport wearing the right clothing is a part of it , what do others think ? What "things" do you mean? At an introductory level, there's nothing (aside from wearing a sock on your right foot that can accomodate your trousers ;-) that's cycle-specific; wearing comfortable clothes that are suitable for the weather is all that's required. At an intermediate level, when the child might be working up a bit of a sweat, then suitable wicking layers might be introduced. Again, these aren't cycle-specific. It's only when the cyclist (child or otherwise) is doing, say, 20 miles or more at a time, that they might want to think about things like padded shorts or *gasp* lycra shorts - and if they're doing that sort of distance, I figure they're pretty well hooked ;-) R. |

Any contact details? The only web reference I can find is on the BikeBiz list. ..d I found a link to there web site but it was not available , on the matter anyway, I find it hard to believe that things are not readily available for children if we want to encourage them to use cycling as a form of exercise or a form of transport wearing the right clothing is a part of it , what do others think ? The problem is that for the clothing to be comfortable and fit for purpose it has to be made of appropriate materials and of appropriate quality. This makes it relatively expensive. The market is not large, and thus outsourcing to cheaper manufacturing places is not always viable. Becasue the market is not large there are not the number of places stocking such kit. Becasue it is expensive and kids grow rapidly, there is less incentive to buy instead of 'make do'. I still use kit I bought as a student in the '80s. My kids wont wear stuff they get now in three years time, let alone fifteen. ...d |
