Top Cycling Accessories for Every Rider: From Safety to Speed
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider, having the right accessories can improve your cycling experience. From essential safety gear to speed-enhancing tools, this guide covers the top cycling accessories every rider should consider.
Essential Safety Gear
Safety should always come first when cycling. Investing in quality safety gear can keep you protected on the road.
1. Helmets
A high-quality helmet is the most crucial accessory for any cyclist. It protects your head from injuries in case of an accident. Look for helmets that are well-ventilated, lightweight, and meet safety standards.
2. Lights
Front and rear lights are essential for visibility, especially in low-light conditions. LED lights with different brightness settings and rechargeable batteries are popular options. Other options could include lights attached to you, such as the Nathan Lightbender - Arm Light, which is a lightweight, versatile option for visibility from all angles.
3. Reflective Gear
Reflective clothing, stickers, or accessories can help make you visible to other road users at night or during poor weather conditions.
4. Gloves
Cycling gloves protect your hands from blisters and provide extra grip on the handlebars. Some gloves also feature padding to reduce hand fatigue on long rides.
Comfort and Convenience
Cycling can be more enjoyable when you have the right tools to stay comfortable and organised.
1. Water Bottles and Hydration Systems
Staying hydrated is crucial during long rides. Carrying a water bottle like the INFINIT Water Bottle can provide you with hydration mid-ride. A soft flask or other brands of bottles can also be considered. For easy access, a hydration pack or belt can help keep your hands free.
2. Storage Solutions
Having the right storage options lets you carry essentials like snacks, tools, or a phone. We have a range of bags, vests, and belts that are great for holding small items without adding bulk.
3. Sunglasses
Protect your eyes from the sun, wind, and debris with a pair of cycling sunglasses. Models like GOODR WRAP Gs are lightweight, durable, offer UV protection, and are designed and made for cycling.
Speed and Performance Accessories
For riders looking to improve their performance, the right accessories can make a difference in speed, endurance, and efficiency.
1. GPS and Heart Rate Monitors
Tracking your rides and performance is easier with GPS devices and heart rate monitors. A GPS watch such as the COROS PACE 3 can help provide valuable data to help optimise your training.
2. Tyre Pumps and Repair Kits
A portable tyre pump is a must-have for any cyclist. Combine it with a repair kit to fix flat tyres on the go. Compact options like CO2 inflators are perfect for quick repairs without adding extra weight to your ride.
3. Aero Bars
Aero bars can help you reduce wind resistance and improve your speed on flat terrains. They're particularly useful for long-distance cyclists and time-trial enthusiasts.
Recovery and Maintenance
Cycling takes a toll on both your body and bike. Ensuring you recover well and maintain your equipment can improve your performance in the long run.
1. Muscle Recovery Aids
After a long ride, muscle recovery is crucial. A muscle balm or cream such as Leaping Fish Original Muscle Rub can help soothe sore muscles, and help you recover faster ahead of your next ride.
2. Bike Cleaning and Maintenance
Keeping your bike in top shape can help extend its lifespan and prevent components from breaking when out on a ride.
Summary
From helmets and reflective gear to performance-enhancing tools like GPS watches and recovery aids, having the right cycling accessories is key to a safe and enjoyable ride. Whether you're aiming for comfort, speed, or endurance, these accessories will help you make the most of your cycling experience.
