One of the great things about cycling is that you'll find an almost unlimited selection of add-ons to customize your bicycle and help you enjoy riding. But what accessories do you really need?
We came up with a few "must haves" to have a safe and enjoyable ride. In addition, a few tools for basic maintenance. Please let us know if I've missed anything.
1) Helmet. Because safety first!
2) Gloves: They add comfort AND better gripping.
3) Safety gear. Besides helmet and gloves, we wear a high visibility jacket that turns into a vest if it gets too hot.
4) Water bottle. Stay hydrated
5) Air pump/ tire pressure gauge. We carry portable ones and have stand-up ones at home
6) All in one tool. Just in case you need adjustments
7) Tire levers and spare tube. Flats are no fun!
8) Small seat bag. To carry essentials (This stays on the bike so there is no, "Hey! Did you see where I put the spare tube for my bike?!?"
9) Set of lights (flashing tail light) and a bell
10) Bicycle repair stand, nice to have but not necessary
