The bicycle is gaining popularity. Most people prefer cycling around the city. But this will quickly get bored, so sooner or later you will still want to go at least on a short trip to a nearby village or pond. You will learn from the article what accessories you need to have on your bike in order to leave only pleasant impressions.
A bike
On the one hand, this is too obvious. What a bike ride can be without a bike. However, one must understand that for trips outside the city, it is better to have a high-speed bike. This is also quite obvious, but not for everyone. Because more than once I came across the fact that people, not counting their strength, travel 20-30 km from the city on a regular bike. As a result, it turns out that either someone pulls them back in tow, or they walk half the way. Don't repeat their mistakes.
There are many brands of bicycles. A very good brand of bike in terms of price-performance ratio bicycles Jant, will be great companions during any cycling trip.
Trunk
Many people prefer to travel with a backpack. It is convenient, and almost everyone has a backpack. But the trunk still needs to be bought. However, if you take a lot of food with you, and even heavy, then the shoulders after 30 kilometers will remind of themselves. And it's good if you only drive 30 km. And if more, then instead of the pleasure of the trip, you will think of a heavy backpack on your back. Therefore, buying a trunk does not hurt.
Luggage carriers buy on Alenbike... Their cost is less than 2,000 rubles. This is an adequate amount for the comfort they provide. You can, of course, make a trunk yourself from an old Soviet one, for example. But this requires a welder with straight arms and the trunk itself. Therefore, it is easier for most to buy.
Cycling gloves
Everything is simple here - you don't want to call your hands, ride in bicycle gloves. Their cost is in the region of 300-400 rubles, if we take the most budget options. These gloves will last for a couple of seasons, or even more.
In addition, if you fall with gloves, you will not pull your palms off. And falls are not rare. And this must also be taken into account.
Bike helmet
Here everyone decides for himself. Because a bicycle helmet will not save you from all troubles. Yes, and he interferes somewhat, especially out of habit. However, it protects the head well, and God forbid, some problem will happen, the helmet may come in handy.
Bicycle flashlight and reflectors
Even if you are sure that you will be back home before dark, it is imperative to have a flashlight and reflectors on your bike. Anything can happen on the road. And the planned time to return home can be greatly shifted if your chain breaks or if you fall off a bike that is badly damaged after the fall.
And it is very dangerous to return along the road, where cars are rushing at great speed, without marker lights at night.
Spare chamber and repair kit
A modern repair kit allows you to glue the camera in 1 minute. The glue dries instantly, the patches are glued tightly. Therefore, you must carry it with you constantly. However, there are times when the repair kit does not help. For example, when the nipple is torn off. Then a spare camera comes in handy.
From experience I will say that a spare camera has to be used every 3 trips. Most often in order not to waste time looking for a hole in the camera and sealing it. I put a new camera and forgot. And at home I already quietly pasted it over.
Pump
Everything is logical here. You will pierce a wheel, even having a repair kit, without a pump you will have to go home on the rims.
Sometimes there are slow punctures, when it is not necessary to glue it, you can pump it up every hour or two.
Rearview mirror
Of course, this does not apply to those accessories, without which it is impossible to make a successful bike trip. But the mirror adds to the convenience. You don't have to constantly look back to find out if there is a car or another cyclist behind or not.
Especially the mirror will help those who still do not have enough experience in cycling, and with each turn of the head back, confident control of the bike is lost.
