Must have cycling accessories this year

 

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.
