Bike Commuter Essentials for Safety

September 05, 2017

Cycling your way to school, work or any other destination is exciting, cost-effective and healthy. However, to enjoy this experience, there are accessories you will need for your safety and for proper maintenance of your bike, consider some here:

A helmet: Cycling may be fun but is also a dangerous activity more so if you are riding on a sloppy path or in the streets full of cars. The helmet protects your brain from possible concussions just in case an accident occurs.

Water: cycling is a strenuous activity that leads to a high loss of body fluids. Carrying adequate water ensures that the body remains hydrated.

Tire lever: You need to be fully prepared for bike problems such as flat tires. A tire lever helps you to carefully remove the rim without damaging the other parts.

Cycling gloves: They are not only for keeping your hands warm but they also dampen vibration caused by the ride. They also protect the hands from injuries in case of a fall.

Sunscreen and sunglasses: Sunscreen protects your skin from harmful sun’s rays while sunglasses protect the eye from dust and sunlight which may impair your cycling.

The mentioned accessories are just a few out of the many essential supplies. Most of them are determined by an individual’s preference.
