There's no better way to shake off the doldrums of winter than with a nice, long bike ride. As much of the country adjusts to longer days and warmer temperatures, now's the perfect time to stock up on the little extras that help you get the most out of your riding time. Here are our top 7 biking accessories.
Gear Ties - Use gear ties to secure personal items to your bike frame during your next ride. These reusable ties feature a tough shell and strong wire inside. Available in orange or black.
Nite Ize SLAPLIT™ - This slap wrap easily attaches to nearly any surface, providing you with added night visibility. The bright LED light features two modes: glow and flash. The SLAPLIT is perfect for looping around pants cuffs to help keep them from snagging on your bike chain. Available in a battery-powered, rechargeable yellow option.
Nite Ize TAGLIT™ LED Marker - A simple, affordable way to keep you safe at night. This LED light easily attaches to fabric, hats, and backpacks using a powerful magnetic closure. It is also rechargeable and water-resistant.
Many of the accessories mentioned above run on batteries, so be sure to have plenty of replacements on hand. The RADIANT 50 White and Red Bike Lights run on AAA batteries, while the Nite Ize SLAPLIT, SPOKELIT and SEE'EM Mini Spoke Lights all run on different kinds of lithium coin cell batteries.
