If You Got a New Bike Over the Holidays, Check Out These Accessories!

By



If you got a new bicycle over the holidays or you’ve got your eye on discount bikes going into the new year, it’s time to accessorize! There are all kinds of accessories made to take your bike experience to the next level. Certain accessories add versatility and usability to the bicycle itself, while others upgrade the safety of your new ride.

Bike Storage

Bike storage, whether you opt for saddlebags, handlebar bags, frame bags, or panniers, is a must if you plan on doing longer-distance biking or commuting. They’re also useful for everyday neighborhood rides. In addition to adding a lot of versatility to any ride, they also give you a major space upgrade.

Just be sure to measure carefully before purchasing bike storage to make sure it fits on your bicycle and will fit your gear. You should also consider whether it needs to be attached to a front or rear mounting rack. Some bikes come with rear mounting racks preinstalled, but many don’t, so you may have to buy one separately.

 Forward and Rear Lights

Bike lights are safe and practical accessories to add to your ride. If you got a new bicycle during a road bike clearance sale and you plan on riding on the road or near traffic, lights are a must, though they’re great for any type of bicycle. Get forward-facing (white) and rear-facing (red) lights.

Bike lights help light the way when it’s dark out. They also help announce your presence. You can find options that are easily charged via USB and come with different light modes, including brightness options.

Mountain Bike Safety Gear

Did you happen to pick up a clearance mountain bike recently? If you plan on hitting the trails, now is a great time to stock up on related MTB accessories, including safety gear like mountain bike helmets, which can provide more comprehensive coverage than standard bicycle helmets.

Dedicated mountain bike shoes can also be useful. This type of shoe is generally made with flat, grippy soles to help protect the feet while keeping them “locked on” the pedals without locking them in like shoes with clip-in pedal compatibility.

Gloves are another accessory to add to your kit. MTB gloves help you grip the handlebars as you pull off trail maneuvers. They can also help protect your hands should you go down (along with knee and elbow pads).
