Winter training is less about intensity and more about intention. With fewer events and more structure, this season gives you the rare chance to build fitness with focus. Set a clear goal, work backwards to create weekly and session plans, and make a dedicated space that removes friction. Even thirty minutes in the morning can create a snowball of progress. Small wins stack, momentum builds and winter becomes the foundation for your best year on the bike.

Gifts Your Cycling Friends Really Want Finding the perfect gift for a cyclist is strangely difficult. They know what they like. They know what they do not like. And their sport is full of oddly niche items that either become instant favourites or get quietly forgotten in a drawer. If you want to give something they will actually use, love and talk about on every ride, here is your guide to choosing gifts cyclists genuinely appreciate. What they definitely do not want Avoid the classic traps. Cyclists are picky and these usually miss the mark. Novelty cycling giftsPizza cutter shaped like a bike, tiny trinkets, anything that screams gadget. Fun cycling T shirtsThey will smile politely and never wear them. Novelty jerseysIf it looks like a joke, it will live at the back of the drawer forever. Books about the best rides in the worldEvery cyclist already has opinions about the best routes. They want inspiration that feels personal and beautiful, not generic. Stocking fillers that never fail These are the small things cyclists use all the time. They might not be flashy but they are always appreciated. Quality cycling socksA fresh pair of well made socks is a joy. Think breathable fabrics, good compression and colours that go with their favourite kit. Nice cycling water bottlesA stylish bottle is always welcome. Even better if it fits their frame cleanly and does not hold flavours. Bicycle cleaning kitEvery bike deserves love. A good cleaning kit keeps drivetrains smooth and helps their bike last longer. Air cartridgesCO2 cartridges are a lifesaver on the road. Cyclists burn through these quickly which makes them a perfect practical gift. Nutrition they actually likeEnergy bars, gels or drink mix from quality brands. Choose flavours they already use or go for simple classics that work for everyone.   Mid price gifts they will really appreciate These are the items that feel thoughtful and useful without going into big budget territory. Cycling glovesA good pair makes every ride more comfortable. Winter gloves are an easy win at this time of year. A nice cycling jerseyClean designs, no team prints, nothing world champion. Just stylish, breathable and well made. Understated always wins. A new helmetA practical gift that feels premium. Lightweight, comfortable and safe. Accessories for their SpaceRailThink extra hooks, a LaunchPad sleeve or add ons that make their setup even more satisfying. An inspiring cycling photo bookSomething beautiful for the coffee table. Rich imagery and timeless stories. Think the style of Michael Blann. Cycling specific sunglassesLightweight, grippy, high clarity lenses and a shape that fits well under a helmet.   Gifts with the wow factor When you want to go big and give something they will remember for years. A SpaceRail Bike Storage SystemThe dream gift for any cyclist. More space, more organisation and a setup that looks incredible in any kit room or garage. A pressure washer designed for bikesPerfect for anyone who rides through winter and needs a quick, safe way to keep their bike clean. A cycling holidayGive them a trip to the mountains, the sunshine or the gravel roads they daydream about. Nothing beats time on the bike in a beautiful place. A brand new bikeThe ultimate surprise for someone truly special.

The Story Behind Stashed ProductsHow a garage problem became a global bike storage brand Every brand starts with a moment. Ours began in a cluttered garage in Wales. The frustration that sparked an idea Stashed Products was born from the same ritual many cyclists know well. Roll the bike in after a ride, prop it somewhere, shuffle things around, step over wheels and handlebars, then repeat it all again the next day. Our founder, Elliot Tanner, is an engineer and lifelong cyclist. He looked at the chaos and saw something that didn’t make sense. Why do the bikes we care most about end up shoved in corners or hanging awkwardly from hooks that scrape paint or kink cables. Why is proper bike storage still an afterthought in an industry obsessed with engineering perfection. If you can obsess over geometry, carbon layup and suspension feel, why not obsess over the space they live in. From sketch to prototype Elliot started sketching ideas. Systems. Mechanisms. Components that could adapt to any garage or bike room. He wanted storage that could evolve as your stable of bikes evolved. One key insight shaped everything:Storage should move around the bikes. Not the other way around. The earliest prototypes were built late at night in a small workshop. Bits of aluminium extrusion, printed plastic components, bearings, hooks. The first breakthrough was the rotating hook. Then came the smooth sliding rail. Then a fully modular system that could sit on ceilings, walls, angled rafters and eventually on a freestanding frame. Every detail mattered: No bike should rub against the next one One hand operation should be effortless Long life span over landfill A system that grows and transforms rather than being replaced Protecting the idea As the system evolved, so did the weight of it.Elliot knew he had created something completely new. Something that deserved protection. That led to patents. Engineering partnerships. The IP wasn’t an afterthought. It became the backbone, giving Stashed the confidence to refine and scale while keeping the design language consistent and protected. The first launch In 2021 the SpaceRail launched. A ceiling rail with hooks that rotate and slide smoothly. The response was instant. Early adopters came from around the world. Cyclists who wanted a better space not just a storage hook. The SpaceRail became a talking point. People shared photos of their garages with pride. The idea of a dream bike space was born. From there everything accelerated. Retailers requested display systems Commercial fleets adopted the rails Pro riders and ambassadors started using them in workshops and training spaces Press coverage followed Then came the Dragons Den appearance on national television No one expected a bike storage brand to become a design and lifestyle brand. But that is exactly what happened. More than storage. Space. Stashed keeps expanding the ecosystem with products like Launch Pads, LodeStar modular grid walls, Freestand systems and new accessories that elevate how the room feels and works. The idea is simple.When your environment is organised you ride more. It is not bike storage.It is making space for your life. Built in Wales. Used worldwide. Every rail is assembled by hand in our Welsh workshop. Our team of engineers build, test and refine every product until it passes a level of scrutiny usually reserved for components that go on the bike, not around it. The numbers speak for themselves: Thousands of systems installed globally Setups in homes, garages, bike shops, hotels, bike parks and pro team facilities Winner of The Kings Award for Enterprise for Innovation Where we go next The ambition has always been bigger than storage. Stashed is building a world around organised space and the psychology of a clear head. When your bikes have a place, your mind does too. We are developing new systems, modular accessories and premium bike room solutions that turn any space into a place you want to spend time in. From a cluttered garage.To a global movement. Life stored better. More riding. Less faff.

When we released the Freestand system, the goal was simple. Create a completely modular bike storage frame that doesn’t need drilling, anchors, or a permanent place to live. The system was designed to move bikes off the walls and out of corners, into something that could evolve with the rider and the space around them. Pretty quickly after launching Freestand, we noticed something. People wanted mobility. Larger workshops, velodromes, and commercial fleets were shifting bikes around constantly. They wanted to push an entire line of bikes across the room in one motion. Not unhook. Not carry. Not shuttle bikes back and forth. Just move the lot. The Freestand WheelKit was one of the very first ideas that followed the original Freestand frame concept. It always felt like the logical next step. Why we built it During prototype testing, we worked with velodromes and commercial workshop environments. They used Freestand frames loaded with multiple bikes, then moved them around like rolling bike displays. Watching an entire fleet glide smoothly across polished flooring confirmed that this was the right direction. With that came a new challenge. When bikes sway or move on a rolling structure, you need to add protection where the bikes might make contact. That became the catalyst for our Launch Pad product. Both products now work together to keep bikes protected while rolling as a single unit. What’s included and why it matters Handlebar Width: 700 millimeters Diameter: 22 millimeters to fit standard MTB grips Height is adjustable and locks securely Includes comfortable MTB style lock grips The handlebar gives you stable steering and allows the user to guide a fully loaded system smoothly and confidently. It turns your bike storage into a highly maneuverable trolley. Castors High strength castors rated for a combined total load of 250 kilograms Two castors lock so the system stays put when needed Soft rubber wheels that are non marking Direct M10 thread switchover from the Freestand feet These wheels turn the Freestand into a mobile bike stand. No tools. No compromise. Just swap the feet for the castors and your Freestand becomes a rolling unit. Shock Absorbing Tape Three meters of 50 millimeter wide cushioning tape included This tape applies to the inside of the Freestand uprights to give extra protection and reduce contact between the frame and the bikes when rolling. Trolley Stopper Simple slide and turn wing bolt mechanism that fixes a SpaceRail trolley in place This started as a solution for SpaceRails used inside vans and boats. It stops the trolley from sliding freely in transit. Once we had the WheelKit prototypes, it became even more useful. Locking the trolley means no movement when rolling across flooring or positioning bikes in a tight area. Who is it for Velodromes and commercial fleet managers Riders with multiple bikes stored in a garage or workshop Anyone who needs to regularly move sets of bikes for cleaning, maintenance, or photography shoots The Freestand WheelKit is suitable for both the 4 bike and 8 bike Freestand systems. The payoff You can load bikes once, then move your entire setup anywhere in the room. No heavy lifting. No juggling handlebars. No accidental frame knocks. Just smooth movement. From an R and D point of view, the Freestand WheelKit represents what Stashed does best. We spot the friction. We find the simple solution. Then we build it to last. If mobility and modularity are part of your garage setup, this upgrade makes your Freestand unstoppable. PeteR and D Manager, Stashed Products
