What I’ve learned about first aid and how it could help you with your cycling

I’ve been carrying a compact first aid kit in a hip pack for a few years now. It comes with me while cycling and running, and when I’m out at work too. I’ve used it a few times now and thought this short post about how first aid might be something you should think about more and prepare for. But emore importantly I’ve done a variety of training which is honestly more important than just ‘having the gear.’ I’ve tried to condense this into a shortish article about my reflections on the topic, and hope it’s useful.

Protecting yourself from skin cancer while cycling

I wear sunscreen/suncream/’SPF’ every day. But I’ve found that cheaper suncreams can be really difficult to live with if you’re doing cycling on a sports basis, especially off road. So this is an article about how I’ve made the best of it and the solutions I’ve arrived at. Hopefully it helps keep you safe.
