Restrap, the UK-based cycling bag and accessory makers, have released their first foray into mounting hardware. The Carry Cage is manufactured with the same core principle as all Restrap products – functionality first. Designed in house and produced locally, the Carry Cage has been rigorously tested on and off road in the formidable terrain of Yorkshire. It’s a secure and versatile carrying solution that allows increased cargo capacity, whether you’re bikepacking, touring or just exploring. Head over to Restrap to see the Carry Cage and other storage solutions.

The Restrap Solstice Century Challenge is back for its second winter edition. All you’ve got to do is sign up at Restrap, ride 100 miles between December 18th and 19th, and on the 20th of December, Restrap will email you a form to upload your ride and redeem your patch (below). As with previous editions, the challenge will be hosted on the Restrap UK social media platforms – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and on its Strava club.

All riders who complete the challenge will be able to redeem an exclusive Solstice Century patch for their efforts.

Restrap has developed a handy kit to save your ass when your supple tires decide to explode, 50km from your home. Their new Tyre Boot Kit has eight cuts of durable and tear-resistant Hypalon, specifically designed for covering sidewall and tread tears on any tubed tyre. The kit also contains superglue to attach the Hypalon patches, just try not to get it all over your hands this time. ;-)

The Tyre Boot Kit is for sale at Restrap today.

In July 2020, a group of five friends had planned an epic tour of Europe, but plans changed. A new tour was cobbled together in a week, and the new destination was set: Scotland. The group would ride the famous North Coast 500, a legendary route along the rugged Scottish coastline, and then onto the Highlands. ‘NORTH COAST’ chronicles the reality of touring through harsh conditions, relentless weather and the challenges faced with a country fresh out of a pandemic lockdown…

Our friends at Restrap are once again organizing their Solstice Century ride. This time around they’re encouraging riders to make the most of the longest days of the year over the Summer Solstice weekend of the 19th and 20th of June. The challenge this year is to ride one 100 mile ride on either day. The ride can be outdoors, indoors, on any terrain, and on any bike, so go nuts!

While Restrap markets their new Adventure Musette as an accessory bag for bicycle touring, we can’t help but note that packable bags like this reduce paper and plastic bag use. When they’re this small, you can stuff them anywhere. These 70g bags are made in the UK, come in three colors (safety orange, olive drab, and black) and are available for ordering at Restrap for $37.49.
