Mirror
Cycling Etiquette 101: Ride with traffic. Whether you are riding on the road or on a bike path away from cars, bike mirrors are a great way to improve your spacial awareness on your bike. Look to see if a car is coming before you make a turn or see if there is another cyclist coming up behind you, either way a mirror makes looking behind you simpler by allowing you to glance at whats behind you without turning all the way around, losing sight of what is in front of you. A mirror is an essential piece of equipment for any rider.

There are insulated and non-insulated options with designs and colors to match any color scheme and give your bike that much more functionality and flare!
Floor Pump
Pump up your ride with the most essential accessory on the market. A floor pump is a must-have item for any cyclist for one reason, without air in your tires you cannot ride! Riding with tire pressure too low can result in faster tire ware or, more commonly, flat tires which is why tires should be pumped up before every ride! Don't blow up your riding plans due to lack of preparation, instead, pump up your ride with a floor pump!
Multi-Tool
Preparation is key before going out on a bike ride. You never know when you might have a small mechanical issue that could be fixed if you just had the right tool, with the proper Multi-Tool, these worries will become extinct from your head. A multi-tool is an essential, on-bike, accessory which can save in the long run on repair costs and headaches by supplying you with everything you need to make fitting or mechanical adjustments right at your fingertips. You don't want to get caught without one of these in your saddle bag.
Bicycle Cleaning and Lubrication
A clean bike is a happy bike. Keeping grit and grime off of your ride will help it stand out in the crowd while also keeping your cost to own lower. Without the dirt, road debris, or trail debris on your bike and by keeping your chain lubed, there is a much smaller chance of your drivetrain wearing out prematurely while also improving the shifting, and thus the quality, of your ride as a whole.
Lights
Did you know that 80% of accidents happen during the day? Did you know using a daytime light on a bicycle can reduce the risk of an accident by 2.5x? The largest misconception about lights is that they are only beneficial for riding at night when in reality have a light fixed onto your bicycle is the easiest way to make yourself more visible and less likely to get into an accident with another vehicle. With a light you are safer, more visible, and better equipped for all types of riding. Need we say more?
Saddle Bag
Phone, Keys, Wallet, Patch Kit, Tube, Pump or CO2 Inflation System, tire levers. These are just some of the items most commonly carried on any bike ride. But where does it all go? A bare bicycle has limited storage, so why not make use of an otherwise useless space? Saddle bags tuck beneath your saddle, out of the way from your legs or other accessories mounted on your bike, giving you a seamlessly integrated place to store all of your essentials while you enjoy your ride.
Jersey
Fashion and functionality come together as one in this must have cycling accessory. The most important part of the bike is the thing that powers it, you! A jersey keeps you the rider at the appropriate temperature for the season and offers up to three pockets strategically placed in order to store some essentials without throwing you off balance on your ride. Jerseys also feature bright colors and reflective elements incorporated into the design to keep you, the rider, as safe as possible. A bike jersey is one thing that you cannot have too many of, and can take your riding and your aesthetic to the next level!
Flat Pack
Pumping up your tires in before heading out on your bicycle voyage plays a huge role in your likelihood of getting a flat tire while out on your ride but unfortunately, there is no foolproof tire that never gets a flat. Road or trail debris will always be a risk for a flat tire and the only thing we can do to prevent that is to be ready. A Flat Pack is a small kit with everything you need to change a tube in the event of a flat while out on the road or on the side of a trail. A basic flat pack will include a tube, tire levers, pump, patch kit, and a multi-tool. Don't get caught without your pack!
