Must have cycling accessories this year

Image
  A good bike is just one part of the experience; accessories help make riding a bike in the city safer and more comfortable. Here is my list of essentials for 2025: 1. Helmet: Prioritize safety. For improved protection, look for one with MIPS technology. 2. U-Lock + Cable Lock: To deter theft, double up. 3. Front and rear lights that can be recharged, even during the day. Safety equals visibility. 4. Waterproof Bag or Pannier: Easily transport groceries or your laptop. 5. Portable Tool Kit & Patch Kit: Quickly tighten bolts or fix flats. Bonus: You can ride more confidently on busy roads if you have a good phone mount and cycling app. What do you keep in your cycling kit every day? Leave a comment!

Why cycling to work is a game changer

Image
  It's smart to ride your bike instead of drive to work. The following explains why more urban professionals are switching: ✅ Health: Increase mood, burn calories, and lower stress. ✅ Save money by avoiding parking, fuel, and public transportation. ✅ Time: Enjoy consistent commute times and avoid traffic bottlenecks. ✅ Environment: Every journey matters; lessen your carbon footprint. New bike lanes and bike parking are making cities like Johannesburg and Cape Town more bike-friendly. Even better if your place of employment has lockers or a shower. See how you feel after starting out slowly, perhaps just one or two days per week. Sitting in traffic may never be something you do again.
