Wired 2 Ride is a motorcycle gear shop at 115A Johns Rd in Belfast, Christchurch, with a 4.8 Google rating. A good motorcycle gear shop earns its keep on fitting. Head shapes vary as much as hat sizes, so a helmet that suits one rider will pinch another, and a well fitted lid should feel snug all round with no pressure points. The same goes for jackets and gloves: armour should sit over the joint, not beside it, and trying kit on in a riding position beats guessing from a size chart. Regulars tend to buy helmets in person, and to replace them after any solid knock, even when the shell looks unmarked. On the main road north out of Christchurch, Wired 2 Ride is a handy stop before the run towards Hanmer or the coast.
