The Essentials: Making Your Ride Safer, Easier, and More Enjoyable. After selecting your bike, the right accessories are crucial for comfort, safety, and security. We stock a carefully curated range of accessories tested by our staff on the local Chiltern Hills roads and trails. 1. Safety and Visibility: We stock high-powered, rechargeable Front and Rear Lights (essential even during daytime rides for increased visibility), Hi-Vis gear, and Mirrors. 2. Security: Protect your investment with high-quality locks. We advise on the right rating—look for Sold Secure Gold rated D-Locks and Chain Locks, often required by insurance companies, and provide advice on correct locking technique. 3. Repair and Maintenance: Every rider needs a Flat Kit (spare tube/tyre levers/inflation source), a Mini Pump or CO2 Inflator, and a reliable Multi-Tool for roadside adjustments. 4. Comfort and Practicality: Essential items include Bottle Cages and Bottles for hydration, Mudguards (full-length or clip-on) for wet weather riding, and Pannier Racks and Bags for comfortable commuting and bikepacking. Our team will ensure any accessory (lights, racks, or mudguards) is correctly fitted to your specific bike and frame type.
