Hello guys! First post on this forum :)

I have recently bought a road bike which I'll be using to commute (sometimes) but mostly because I LOOOOVE BIKES.

Now, as you might have realised by the title, I am looking for some not very expensive gear and clothes. Stuff like padded thermals / pants / trousers , phone mount , upper body jacket or what ever.. I'm so bad at this.

Not sure how the forum works and if you can link me some good gear and clothes but if so, it would be amazing as I have looked around various websites but I have no idea what's good and bad..

Thanks a lot !

    Ohh that's great to know. Just ordered a bunch of things from wiggle now, hope they'll fit. I did the measurements thing.
