An increasing number of cyclists choose to wear a bicycle helmet and that is a wise choice. However, not every bicycle helmet is as safe as people think. After a fall, it is better to buy a new helmet. Didn't fall? Even so, it is best to replace your helmet after 4 to 5 years. Due to age and wear, your helmet may no longer work optimally. Of course, wearing an old helmet is always better than wearing no helmet at all.

There are plenty of different brands of cycling clothes, but it is best to choose those that are of good quality. You obviously want to enjoy your cycling outfit for as long as possible. At Van Eyck Sport, we don't prefer one brand, because all our brands are reliable. We only work with the best of the best, such as Assos, Castelli, Northwave and Doltcini.

If you go on long cycle rides, you need comfortable cycling shorts that provide sufficient protection against irritations. To do this, consider the quality of your fabric and the thickness of the chamois. Besides good cycling shorts, there are also other things that can help against saddle sores.

When looking for a new bicycle helmet, there are a few things to consider. For instance, it's best to not only look at the appearance, but also at the fit, quality and its safety label. In addition, your situation is also important. For example, a mountain biker will most likely buy a different helmet than a recreational cyclist.

There is a big difference between women's cycling shorts and men's cycling shorts. And on top of that, you have quite a few differences between the types of women's shorts. The length, the thickness of the chamois... So the best cycling shorts for women are the ones that fit your personal situation. Van Eyck Sport will be happy to help you make that choice.

If you want to know what are good gravel bikes, there is unfortunately no easy answer. After all, a good gravel bike should first and foremost meet your specific cycling needs. Therefore, if you ask the specialists at Van Eyck Sport, every bike has to be different. A good gravel bike is also (and especially) used off-road. As a result, it is important that your bike and all its components are sufficiently solid to withstand all the extra shocks and dirt. To be specific: it is best to choose a frame, fork, brakes, gears, ... that is specifically designed for off-road use. Last but not least: make sure you are comfortable on the bike.

What kind of pedals you need for your gravel biking depends on the terrain you will be cycling on. For muddy terrain, you simply choose different pedals than for asphalt. If the emphasis is on tough terrain, it is best to choose pedals specifically designed for that purpose.

A gravel bike is one of the most versatile bikes around but can you mountain bike with a gravel bike? In any case, our specialists at Van Eyck Sport would not recommend it. Mountain bikes and gravel bikes were developed with a very different audience in mind. Mountain bikers prefer technically demanding trails. Gravel bikers, on the other hand, are real frequent riders who also enjoy a relaxed ride. This means that your bike itself must also meet very different requirements.

The difference between a mountain bike and a gravel bike is clear at a glance. Yet both are meant for off-road use. Which one is the best choice for you depends on your own cycling needs. Do you like short and intensive rides where technique is more important than speed and distance? Then you should probably opt for a mountain bike. Do you prefer comfortably cycling longer distances at a fast pace? And do you prefer not being too technical? Then choose a gravel bike. Not quite sure about your choice? Do not hesitate to seek expert advice.

Want to know what cassette you need on your gravel bike? Are you hesitating between a 1x11 and a 2x11? Then it's best to consider your situation and your preference. Depending on that, Van Eyck Sport will recommend either a single or a double chainring. Both come with their own advantages and disadvantages.

An 18-inch bike will be suitable for a 6 to 7-year-old, although it's best not to look at the child's age. After all, children of the same age do not all have the same body height. Therefore, at Van Eyck Sport we recommend buying an 18-inch children's bike when the child is around 110 cm tall. The taller the child, the larger the wheel size should be in order to be safe on the road.

Buying a first bike for your child, nephew, niece...? In that case, you had better look at the size of the children's bike. Which size you choose depends on the child's height. The age itself is not so important. The smallest children's bike is 12 inches, which is ideal for a body height of around 95 cm. From 28 inches onwards we consider it an adult bike.

Just like the first shoes, the first bike is also an exciting moment. Are you looking for a children's bike for your son, daughter, nephew, niece...? At Van Eyck Sport we offer a wide range in different sizes and colours. But which size children's bike do I need? The best way to find out is by looking at the child's height. For example, for someone around 100 cm tall, it is best to buy a 14-inch bike. However, if you want to find the perfect size, come and test it in the shop!

Looking for the right size children's bike for your child? For a 4-year-old child, it is best to buy a bike around 12 or 16 inches depending on the height of the child. Van Eyck Sport offers a wide range of children's bikes for boys and girls. One rule is certain: never buy a children's bike when you are growing up!

If you want to buy a children's bike of the right size, it is best to look at the child's height, rather than its age. A 22-inch bike is suitable for a child of around 120 cm. On average, this is the body height of a 7 to 8-year-old. Want to be sure of your choice? Ask for tailored professional advice from Van Eyck Sport!

Which handlebar width you choose depends mainly on your bike type. On a road bike, good aerodynamics are important. On a city bike, comfort is more important, and on a mountain bike the requirements are quite different. Your handlebar width is also very important, as is the shape of your handlebars.

Which handlebar tape you choose depends mainly on your own preferences. There are handlebar tapes in numerous materials, some more practical or comfortable than others. There are also almost endless colours and possibilities. Personalising your bike thus becomes a piece of cake.

In recent years, the bicycle chain has been getting more and more competition from the belt drive. Which is not surprising, as belt drive can offer many advantages for certain cyclists. For others, we then just recommend a chain again. So there is no 'better'.

What is the advantage of a carbon frame bike? Your bike frame to a large extent determines the handling of your bike and consequently your cycling pleasure. That is why it is best to choose a very stiff and solid frame. Both carbon and aluminium are suitable. However, carbon offers more comfort and is lighter.
