Survey for cycling commuters

Kate Melzer, a Journalism student with Whitireia, is conducting a survey that she'd like to be completed by as many Hutt - Wellington commuting cyclists as possible over the next two months to 31 October. The information gathered will be used to do a feature article later in the year and to talk to all government agencies about plans for cyclists. This survey is a chance for riders to let those agencies know what is good and bad about the roads and route for commuting by bike.

Cep Compression Socks

We are now the Wellington stockists for these German made, surgical grade compression socks. They're fantastic for running/tri/multisport – training, racing and recovery.

The Cep technology increases blood circulation and oxygen to the muscles resulting in more energy, faster regeneration, increased coordination and less blisters.

Independent tests have confirmed they promote 30% more blood to the leg muscles while stationery and a massive 40% more during movement.

$85.00 - available in black or white, fitted by calf measurement, come instore and we'll fit a pair for you.
