- Road to Paris: Paved With Gold
- This year, the Tour de France may have ended in Nice. But for the hard-working athletes involved, the road led straight to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. With a backdrop worthy of a classic film, where champions speed from Montmartre, past the Arc de Triomphe, onwards to the history books. With the Time Trial starting just north of the tower, in Invalides.
Here are some helpful hints to guide you through the process of kitting up and getting the most out of your rides.
If you are new to mountain biking, have a new bike and are now puzzling over what's next on the shopping list, you are in the right place!If you're new to mountain biking but haven't yet got yourself a bike, you can check out the link below for some pointers.
Once you've chosen your bike, it's time to get kitted up. Admittedly, cyclists don't have the best reputation when it comes to fashion, but you'll be relieved to know that images of saggy shorts and woollen jerseys are well outdated. Indeed, even the much-maligned full-lycra look is something of a distant memory for many mountain bikers today. Equally, there's no need to sport the big, baggy clothing once synonymous with the gnarly downhillers. We are happy to say that from the helmet on your head to the shoes on your feet, SHIMANO and our partners can kit you up in an outfit that suits your needs and your style.
