About Bike Accessories

Choosing the right bike for you is a crucial decision, but how you outfit your bike can be just important to your riding safety and comfort. It's important to think about where you plan to ride, what time of day, and what you want to bring with you.

Types of bike accessories

You'll want to outfit you and your bike for safety depending on your riding conditions. First and foremost, start with a good bike helmet. If you plan to ride at night or in bad weather, bike headlights and rear tail lights are also a must. A solid bike u-lock is also key if you're leaving your bike outside.

You may also want to carry more than yourself, in which case you should think about storage. A bike basket is a classic, but you might always consider panniers, saddle bags, or a bike backpack.

If you're shopping for a child, consider a bike trailer or child bike seat.

When it comes to maintenance, you'll need a bike pump at minimum as well as bike tools and a repair stand if you plan to do your own work.
