If your bike suffers severe damage, it can be replaced, but what about if you get into an accident? You wouldn’t cycle without a bike repair kit, so why not carry a bike first aid kit too?
Uneven terrain, traffic, potholes, isolation, extreme weather, exposure. Cycling presents risks that other sports don’t.
Chances are you can’t guarantee you’ll be in one specific place if you become injured. You need to know that no matter where you are, you’re always prepared with first aid essentials for bike accidents.
Through ongoing research, we’ve designed cycling first aid kits for all cycling disciplines, whether that’s road bike first aid kits, mountain bike first aid, BMX, track, or touring. Through our work with cycling organisations, clubs and first aid experts, we’ve identified key essentials that each cyclist needs to keep our kits practical, small, and lightweight.
We consult with experienced sports participants, athletes, sports therapists, medics, and expedition doctors to offer cyclists Sterosport Activ first aid kits: innovative first aid that travels with you out of the way until you need it. Our Sterosport Activ kits are created with mobility in mind, meaning your performance won’t be affected by equipping your bike.
Cyclists at any level can rely on us to make sure we’ve ticked every box to keep you safe. Through our partnership programme, we’ll assess your unique situation and recommend the ideal first aid kit for you, so you never have more or less than you need.
We want everyone to enjoy safe cycling; that’s why we partner with incredible role models Josh Quigley who’s on a journey to win the Tour de France, inspiring amateur cyclists to push their limits. We’ve also supported campaigns with Love to Ride and Sports Tours International, two inclusive organisations that aim to get all types of people riding bikes everywhere.
We’re proud to work with First Aid for Life, the first aid experts that help cyclists be more prepared with cycling first aid skills and equipment.
When you choose to partner with Sterosport, you’re getting long-lasting consultation and support from industry professionals who want to see you thrive through safe cycling. There’s no cost to being a partner at any level, just different benefits according to what you want.
Cyclists of any level of discipline will need to carry a first aid kit on their bikes. We stock a range of different first aid kits depending on what type of cycling you’re doing.
The Commuter Pocket Kit helps everyday cyclists stay safe on the roads. More adventurous cyclists might want to consider a more extensive kit like the Explorer Pocket Kit or Expedition Activ Kit.
All our kits contain plasters, large adhesive dressings, eye/ wound wash pods, dressings/ swabs and cleansing wipes.
