So you have a bike. And now? To fully enjoy riding a few accessories that help you on your way. These are my top 10 tools that your life will be better cycling.
Padded shorts
If you drive around the block more than he probably had a sore ass or chafing at some point. Padded bike shorts will go a long way in reducing the discomfort back. You can go to the classic skin tight lycra shorts or with theShort padded built in. The tissues of a modern material, the pull-wicking sweat from the skin must be protected to the skin and accounts for more comfort. In both cases it will give back a bit 'more than padding to reduce friction and moisture to manage.
Pump
A pump is one of those things that are not very exciting, until you need it. Then your best friend. I recommend both a floor pump for home use and a mini-pump, you can wear flats on the bike in case ofwhile driving. The floor pump to take less shots to get to a tire pressure that swells less pain, a tire. The mini-pumps work, but I use it only for repairs during the trip, as you are pumping like crazy to get up to pressure. Much better than walking, but not something I want to do, every few days.
Repair kit
Like the Boy Scout motto is "always ready". Take a small bag, the strap under the seat and fill it with aSpare tube, patch kit, tire levers, fold-out mini-tool (allen wrench, screwdriver, chain and switch) and a mini-pump. With this kit, you can keep most of the problems encountered during the guide.
Chain Lube and cleaning supplies
A chain clean and lubricated chain is happy. They were better, moving, and longer life for all parts of your drive train, and if you clean the chain regularly Lube. If your lazy like me, you can useRock and Roll Gold Chain Lube, cleaning and lubricates in one step.
Gloves
Whether for comfort, protection and warmth, cycling gloves are a must. You can do short trips, but not the same as cycling shorts, gloves reduces chafing.
Warmers and vest
A mesh wind warms the arm and knee warms a dress summer cycling and extends the temperature to 10 degrees. Of particular interest forThat in a cool summer morning with these pieces on your "Start" and how you can remove it heats up and can save in a shirt pocket.
Sports Sunglasses
You must protect your eyes from sun, wind and dirt. More expensive sports glasses with interchangeable lenses are such a sentence is to cover all lighting conditions. All it takes is a bug in the eye to see the importance of eye protection.
Hydration system
This can be bottledand cages on the bike or backpack Camelbak hydration. If you are more than 30 minutes by car or hot weather, you need to rehydrate. You need to go to 750-1000 ml of fluid per hour, and have to carry.
September Light
Even if you are a road rider who is only during daylight, sometimes leaving as the sun goes down will be caught. A small LED front and rear lights can mean the difference between making sure that returns homeabout. Many of the little lights go on dragging your bike without a lot of weight or wind, but they are there when you need it. If you drive at night regularly increased the light it sheds enough light to illuminate your path.
Bike Knowledge
All the cool accessories in the world is nothing if you do not know how to use them. Check with your local bike shop or community college, as they often offer courses in bike repair.If you develop the skills, things such as tires, gears and brakes are mushy simple fixes you can do wrong, and will take place on horseback.
