11spd: This week's best new bike gear

http://ift.tt/2jG0VnC

Friday the 13th is a day that's traditionally been viewed in Western culture as bringing bad luck. While cyclists aren't viewed in general as the most superstitious of people — bar perhaps having a lucky pair of socks for racing or a small pre-ride ritual — sometimes it's best to err on the side of caution. Especially now Snowmageddon is here in the UK (US readers, no laughing at the back there).

Creepier still, the former child star of The Omen films is about to be jailed for punching a cyclist — so we reckon you're safer just staying in and reading about this week's crop of the latest bike goodies. Enjoy.

New road gear

Cadence winter gloves and overshoes

Coming hot out of California to bring succour to everyone shivering through winter, Cadence has its sights set squarely on the European market, and they’re off to a bright start with these winter gloves and overshoes — literally. This is weapons-grade brightness, y’all.

Looking at the Sherman Shoe Covers, our first question was 'where’s the cleat hole?' It turns out you cut your own based on individual cleat needs, and they promise no fraying… interesting. They’re made from a four-way mix of Cordura (56%), Lycra (32%), elastic (7%) and nylon (5%), and promise to keep your feet warm through winter.

Shoe covers: £26 / $30 / AU$N/A
Gloves: £29 / $35 / AU$N/A
