With the fuel crisis still wreaking havoc in everyone’s lives, a new hero has come to the fore – the bicycle. Along with the need for bicycles comes the need for biking accessories designed to make your travels both safe and convenient. Here’s a list of things you might want to consider investing in, as well as places you can purchase them from.

1. Bicycle Helmet

Wearing a helmet at all times when cycling is of the utmost importance. In many cases of unfortunate falls or accidents, helmets can save lives.

2. Night Light

Cycling at night can often be dangerous because of low visibility. Having a night light attached to the front of your bicycle can really help as you navigate in the dark, while attached tail lights would make you visible to motorists coming up from behind you.

4. Smartphone Holder

We’d never tell you to pick up calls and send texts while cycling, but having your smart phone in a holder can be very useful, especially when you need to use Google Maps to find your way around.
