by Matt Willey

As Europe’s summer season hits full swing, skin protection becomes an important consideration for anyone spending prolonged periods of time exposed to the sun rays. Razor sharp tan lines can elicit a nod of mutual respect from riders (rule #7…) but often lead to a hunt for aloe vera to soothe painful sunburn which, aside from affecting short term performance in the saddle, can have damaging long term consequences. Pelotan, from Pelotan.cc, is high-performance sun protection designed to help cyclists cultivate those tan lines without risk of burning. The flagship product is an alcohol based spr ..read more

Cytronex C1 review: our guest blogger feels 20 years younger in under 10 minutes
A cycling blog with reviews, tips and opinion - Vamper.cc
by Victoria Bowskill

Feeling 20 years younger in under 10 minutes? That’s a very bold claim, and I don’t make it lightly I can assure you. But that was my overriding feeling when test riding the new Cytronex C1.

Should I not be saying this after finding a miracle potion from the Amazon Rain Forest, only available when signing up on the internet for £9.99 a month…for the rest of my life? It’s because that wasn’t why I was so interested in this absolutely incredible piece of kit and therefore I am blown away by the unexpectedness of what I actually discovered the day I went to te ..read more

Before I launch headlong into this review, I want to begin by thanking VeloSkin for two reasons: firstly, for reaffirming my faith that the cycling industry can deliver products that truly crossover and become fundamental requirements of ‘real life’. And secondly, for providing me with, after a 25 year search, a suite of shaving products that my stupidly sensitive skin can actually embrace. Due in no small part to cycling’s spiralling popularity, the seemingly inexorable rise of products aimed at the cycling community seems to show no sign of abating. As the number of interested parties grows ..read more
