Top 10 cycling gadgets: See.Sense, Lock8, Firefly and more

Ever since the Olympics, more and more women in the UK are getting on their bikes, with Sport England reporting a 200,000 increase in regular cyclists and this year’s Tour de France kicking off in Yorkshire only adding to our enthusiasm for literally jumping on the saddle. But whether you see yourself as the next Victoria Pendleton or simply like biking to work, you probably want to stay safe, keep track of your fitness progress, and of course, have constant access to your phone. Here are a few gadgets and gizmos to increase your pedal power.

Tigra Sport smartphone mount

Yes, if you're on long ride you could put your phone in your rucksack and just focus on the road. But you could also put it on your handlebars and not have to experience life without it, and doesn't that sound better? This solid, rugged Tigra Sport mount grips onto your phone with double-hinged safety locks and a security screw so it won’t go flying (and no one can grab it). It's made of engineering plastics with a silicone lining to protect against shock and impact but is sensitive enough to allow you access to the touchscreen, as well as the headphone jack and camera. You can also swivel your phone 360 degrees to get it into the right position and charge as you ride.

It costs £29.99 from Amazon.
