The Right Bike Equipment Makes
A Big Difference In Comfort,
Safety, And Performance




When it comes to bike equipment you don't need all of the bells and whistles but there are some things that you really do need to have right on the front end and it's a good idea to include them in your budget.

Consider "equipment" as the stuff that you need to ride safely and "accessories" as the fun stuff that you can add as your interest grows and your budget allows.

There are a lot of fun accessories that you can add later but the main concern should be the necessities that help you to ride safely. Adding comfort and just plain fun is VERY important as well. Accessories can also be great gift ideas.


EQUIPMENT THAT YOU WILL NEED.

bike helmet - This is your most important item of item of equipment.

bike rack - You need one to transport your bike to a safer, or more fun place to ride.

bike pump - A necessary tool. But, clever designs ease the pain.

bicycle bag - A hassle free place for your take-along stuff.

bike lock - Still the best theft deterrent.

bicycle shorts - Keep you riding longer and in comfort. Believe me. Your butt will thank you.

water bottles - You, absolutely, do need to stay hydrated.

bicycle tools - A small multi tool will do the job 90% of the time.It can be the difference between walking your bike home and riding it.

bicycle mirror - Very necessary for safe riding.
