Bike accessories
Don’t think you can close your wallet after you've purchased
your bike because bike accessories are essential to enjoyable riding.
When it comes to safety, you'll need a helmet. You will also need lights
and additional reflective clothing if you plan on riding at night.
When it comes to comfort, bike accessories are also key. Since biking
drains the body of essential fluids, you will need at least one water
bottle as well as mounts to place the bottles. Also, when it comes to
comfort having the appropriate clothing for working away sweat in excessive
heat or cold will extend your work out.
Whether you are commuting around town or taking a weeklong trip, you
will need bike accessories to carry/stow your belongings. A handlebar
bag or under the seat pouch might hold enough for a day trip. However,
if you're taking a longer trip you will need front and rear panniers
to carry your luggage.
