Cyclist hygiene is something that should be taken into account during every bicycle trip, but for some reason we don't think about it until we're already out of the house. During any escapade there can be unexpected difficulties that involve cleanliness in general - such as when the chain falls off and we have to set it back on. We then end up with hands smeared with grease, and the nearest water source is often a long way away. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Probably each of us has had a similar situation at least once in our lives.
That's why we decided to create a special section dedicated to cyclist's hygiene. While everyone should take a first-aid kit with them on a trip, almost no one has something like a cosmetic bag. Maybe it's time to change that? The advantage of hygienic accessories for cyclists is their small size and weight. With just a few useful little things, you can increase your sense of comfort while riding into unfamiliar terrain. Now we will briefly present our ideas on what should be included in such a kit.
Antibacterial gels. These are the ones we particularly recommend when it comes to cyclist's hygiene - it's also a great addition to your first aid kit. You can disinfect your hands, for example, after visiting a public restroom or finishing shopping at the supermarket. You can also disinfect your hands after a fall and using a restroom somewhere on a forest trail.
Like gels, it's a great idea to take along a small container of liquid or leaf soap. Just in case of the aforementioned adventure with a falling chain or when changing the inner tube on your bike, it's good to have this type of accessory in your gear to wash and refresh your hands. It will also come in handy when you get your feet or shoes muddy - as you know, bicycle trips sometimes require the use of a store, and not infrequently also end up in a café or restaurant. Refreshing yourself before being in public after a long trek always improves your mental mood and boosts your confidence.
Increasingly, we go on bicycle trips with the intention of spending the night in the woods. One of the most coveted human inventions, which we appreciate only when we realize we lack one, is certainly a toothbrush. The cyclist's hygiene should start, in this case, with this small item. In the Millitary.co.uk store you will find very practical, foldable toothbrushes that do not take up space in your backpack, so you can carry it without taking it out, so that it will always be with you when you travel, it will certainly come in handy more than once!
After washing your body and teeth, it would be appropriate to wipe yourself properly. Here with help come quick-drying towels, which you will also find in our offer. This is an expedition solution, for every participant of tourist runs. They are very small, can be compressed to a few centimeter cube and are very lightweight. Indispensable companions for any trip! Of course, their most important advantage is that they dry quickly - just hang them on your backpack while outdoors, and in a very short time they are dry and can be used again.
You are cordially invited to browse the new category we have prepared, which is accessories for cyclists. There you will find even more interesting items to complete your equipment than just those listed above. If you think about how many times during some trip you would be happy to take the viewed item with you - consider buying it. They will certainly improve your comfort more than once and more than twice while traversing more miles on your bike. A wide road is wished by the Milltary.co.uk team!
