Listening to your iPod while you’re doing something active (well more active than sitting on the bus) can be a traumatic experience. Fiddling with buttons and jostling the earphones into some semblance of a comfortable position while you’re in transit makes the whole process a bit of a bore for those who can’t exercise without a beat. The CyFi Wireless Sports Speaker makes it as easy as can be no matter your outdoor pursuit of choice. The key to the CyFi is its adaptability – as well as being a companion for your cycling commute it’s great for camping hiking boating… basically most things ending in ‘ing’. It’s the perfect thing for outdoor holidays relaxing round the campfire after a hard day’s trekking or for playing Duran Duran’s Rio while the boom comes overhead (what do you mean you’ve never seen that video?!). It comes with a clamp for fixing it to the handlebars of your bike so that your downhill descent can be suitably soundtracked as well and the sound quality is impressive. Buttons for changing the track and adjusting the volume mean that you don’t have to fiddle with the iPod in your pocket while you’re trundling along. Simply plug the dinky audio transmitter into your iPod press play and let the CD-quality CyFi do its thing. The speaker itself is light enough and small enough to pop in your coat pocket and it has a range of 30 feet (which should be plenty even if you find yourself dislocated from it due to tumbling into a ravine or whatever sporting injuries might befall you). You can sync up to 4 CyFi speakers for especially large groups of like-minded people and then pack it all away in the neat little carry pouch. Charging for 2 hours via USB will give you over 6 hours of listening time. So whatever you spend your outdoor time doing make sure you’ve got the Cy Fi in your pocket to keep the whole experience in tune.

Because we’re all such environmentally friendly and health-conscious sorts (why are you looking at us like that?) cycling about the place is second nature. The resulting safety implications particularly visibility are an important consideration as anyone who’s nearly been squished between two London buses will tell you. The SpokeLit bike light is a fantastic and simple way to ensure you don’t get knocked off (not in the mafia way obviously). All you have to do is clip the SpokeLit to your spokes click it on and hey presto you have a brilliant bicycle lighting. You then have the choice of a constant or a rapidly flashing coloured light. We kind of prefer the constant light on a purely aesthetic level – cycling at the right speed produces that lovely ring of light effect. Of course it’s more about staying visible on the roads than looking like an extra from Blade Runner but there’s no harm in looking cool. The batteries last for ages and installation only takes a few seconds so why not get your hands on one of these funky rear lamp accessories – keeping you safe while you brave the roads in the dark. Features: Bike SpokeLit safety light for cyclists. Simply clip it to the spokes and turn it on before you start cycling The light will either hold a steady glow or flash rapidly to make you as visible as possible in the dark Colours may vary: red blue or green Easy to operate (not whilst in motion unless you fancy losing your fingers down the nearest drain) Suitable for ages 8 years + Size: 12 x 3.5 x 2.5cm
