Coolclasp – so, what is it?

Store, hang, manage, organise, pack anything using your coolclasp. Coolclasp is a simple product that can be used in, we like to think, infinite different ways
The thing about Coolclasps that amazes me is that there is always some new nuance to using them.

Our ISP got one the other day and he tells me that he salvaged an old baby high chair with it, clipping the bits together so that the chair still works. It sounds dodgey and I told him that but we agreed it's a lot better than the gaffer tape he had on there before.

I did something similar last month when my two year old managed to pull one of the wooden bits out of our banister upstairs. Its old and Victorian and replacing the whole thing would cost a fortune. So ta-da - one coolclasp clipped it to the ones either side and kept it intact and safe until I could find the time to reglue the broken bits.

And so it goes on. Everyone I know with young kids always has one million things hanging from their prams and this is perfect space for a coolclasp. My two year-olds new scooter is clipped happily to the buggy and no longer is it a mission to get him, his buggy, his scooter, nappy bag, coat, etc to the park.

Have you thought about cycling in London?

Padded Shorts - Cycle Training in London - Learn to Cycle in London

Cycle commuting to work, doing the shopping by bike, or seeing the sights of the city and getting fit into the bargain?

If it’s something you’ve considered, but never quite got round to, have you thought about what’s stopping you? Are you nervous about riding in traffic, don’t know the best routes to take, or think you’re not fit enough?

There are lots of reasons why people don’t cycle, but it’s really not as hard as you might think. And think of the benefits. It’s cheap, healthy, and fun. Anyone can learn to cycle safely in London. That’s where cycle training can help.

Padded Shorts is a London-based cycle training company run by me, Henrik Risager, a provisional CTUK Accredited Cycling Instructor. Originally from Denmark, I’ve been commuting by bike and cycling for pleasure in European cities for over 20 years. I want to help more people enjoy the benefits of biking in London, and become safe, confident cyclists.

Whether you are a complete novice at cycling in London, already cycle a bit and want to brush up your skills, or want to build up your fitness for longer leisure rides, one-to-one cycle training from Padded Shorts can help. Want advice on what route to take to work, which bike to choose to suit your needs, or tips on bike maintenance? No problem – we can help with that, too.

Anyone can learn to cycle safely in London – it’s not out of your reach! Find out more and book a training session online at www.paddedshorts.co.uk.

And finally – no, padded shorts aren’t compulsory ;)

Happy cycling,
Henrik
