3- SolRx sun screen.
Sun screen is a vital if you're riding your bike in Maui. Choosing the right sunscreen for you can be a challenge. When I'm looking for a sun screen I want something that is effortless; something I don't have to re-apply every 30 minutes, something that isn't greasy. At West Maui cycles you can buy just that! SolRx is a fantastic paraben and sal free sunscreen. It outperforms all other sunscreens, with one application lasting as long as 8 hours, even against sweat and water. We Love this sun screen too because of it's 'Reef-safe' qualities. So when you've finished riding you can jump into the ocean guilt free!
