ESSENTIAL ACCESSORIES FOR CYCLING IN THE SUMMER (EVEN IN THE RAIN)

Summer definitely makes you want to get back on the saddle: morning light, mild temperatures, avoiding traffic jams... Cycling to work becomes a real source of pleasure. But between surprise heatwaves and unexpected downpours , it's best to be well prepared. Because cycling in the summer isn't all sun and dew – it's also sweat, thunderstorms, and wet roads.

Here is a selection of useful accessories for riding comfortably and staying dry, even when the weather is disruptive.


🎒 1. The waterproof and versatile fanny pack

A must-have for any seasoned bike commuter.

Our waterproof fanny packs are designed to fit all your journeys:

  • Attach to the handlebars to free your back,

  • Can be worn crossbody or at the waist once on foot.

Compact yet spacious enough for the essentials (keys, phone, wallet, glasses), they quickly become a daily reflex. And thanks to their waterproof material, there's no need to stress about the slightest drop.

💡 Bonus: their simple and functional design works just as well in the office as on the terrace after work.

☔ 2. The compact and waterproof poncho

Because the 8:23 a.m. downpour wasn't predicted by your weather app , the poncho is your best friend.

Our compact rain ponchos can be put on in seconds and packed away just as quickly. Waterproof, lightweight, and well-designed, they cover not only the upper body but also the legs and part of the bag or handlebars.

🌀 Their foldable format allows them to be slipped into a bag or even a pocket. And you stay dry, without the sauna effect.

🪖 3. A stylish helmet… that doesn’t go unnoticed

The helmet is essential... so it might as well be beautiful!

Our glossy helmets are designed for those who want to combine protection with style. Their glossy finish and sleek design make them truly stylish accessories, perfect for seamlessly transitioning from bike to office.

🌬️ And what about comfort? Well-placed vents prevent overheating, even in very hot weather.

💡 Also find smart models from the Gamel brand , equipped with integrated brake lights and indicators for a connected and intuitive driving experience.

🎒 4. The waterproof and reflective backpack

When you can't fit everything in a bag, a backpack is still essential. As long as it's:

  • Waterproof (really),

  • Comfortable (even with a little load),

  • And reflective (safety requires it).

Our waterproof and reflective backpacks tick all these boxes with their eyes closed. Their understated design makes them as professional as they are practical, and the reflective panels keep you visible on foggy mornings or evening walks back.

💼 Ideal for transporting a computer, a change of clothes or your homemade lunch, with complete peace of mind.
