Drop weight and save money!

by

Have you ever spent big dollars on a new bit of bike bling with the justification that it saves weight? Me too.

Do you carry more electronic goodies than is really necessary? Me too.

Are your jersey pockets bulging with stuff?

I possibly carry more than most people because, well it is my job. Camera, Phone, a couple of tubes, pump, the list goes on. Less is more, so I started looking around.

With the technology in phones nowadays, I could ditch the camera and use the phone, but I’d still have to fumble for it, so I had a look at putting it on the handle bars. After much researching I found a product called the Quad Lock. What sets Quad Lock apart from other similar products was its simple mechanical locking system and big lever to release the phone. A shock and waterproof phone case will protect the phone as best as possible out on the road.

To replace the computer, I have downloaded the most comprehensive app, Cyclometer GPS. It does everything that the computer did but on the phone.

So in one swoop I have dropped the camera and computer off the scales and out of my jersey pocket. Probably the best part of 500grams, and saved $1,000 not replacing the computer or the camera, bonus!

The best part is … you can too!

Quad Lock have come on board with VéloRoo and are offering a very generous 20% discount off all products when you order on line and use the code VéloRoo at the checkout! How cool is that!

A word from our clients

Don’t take our word for it - discover why cycling adventurists have fallen in love with the Occitanie Region of Southern France.

Bike hire par excellence. Steve and Julia do a remarkable job. From the very first inquiry throughout the whole month that I rode their bike it has been sensational - the beautiful environs, the impeccable service and care, the tour guiding which introduced me to one new area after the other coupled with super bike tips. This is the best bike hire experience I have ever had and have been doing this annually for seven years now. Vive la VeloRooMay 2017
Great Bikes and excellent service
After finding them online I booked my hire with ease. Julia and Steve were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and offer fantastic service and knowledge on the local area. They were also very accomodating when I wanted to extend by a day. I have already booked to return to the area next year so will definitely look to booking again. The bidons are a great touch, or the "Kangaroo bottle" as our 3 year old daughter likes to call it!July 2019
I recently visited the Languedoc Roussillon area on holiday for a family holiday and arranged road bike hire from Veloroo for the duration of my stay.
Julia and Steve were a pleasure to deal with and the bike was mechanically sound and in excellent order, not missing a beat.
Delivery and pick up were efficient and I would definitely recommend Veloroo to my friends and use them again.August 2019
