Key Points To Remember

Clothing

  • Bicycle shorts

  • Cycling shoes

  • Gloves can be used to relieve pressure and protect hands from injury in an emergency.

Consider carrying a bag depending on the season and altitude

  • Waterproof jacket

  • Arm and leg warmers

Personal items

  • Riding glasses

  • Get enough water and/or sports drinks

  • Basic first aid kit

  • Sunscreen that contains insect repellant is a good choice

Tools

While you may wish to have a variety of tools and spare parts for every situation, this is not feasible or practical on a short trip. You don't have to walk too far to get to your car if you experience major gear failure. Here's what you should have:

  • Multi-tool with a chain breaker, Allen keys, and other tools

  • Puncture repair kit

  • If your chain is in dire need of spare chain links, these can be used as spares

You don't just need the right equipment, there are also a few things you can do before you set out on your ride.

  • Regularly having your bike serviced

  • Make sure you check your tire pressure
