What to take on your bike trail trip
Okay, spring is nearly sprung and we’re all itchin’ to hit the (hopefully not so) dusty trail. I understand your enthusiasm, but slow down little buddy. Take a few minutes to prepare for your bike trip. Let me make a few suggestions for you to take on the trail:
- well-tuned bike w/ storage onboard (seat pack or panniers or handlebar pack)
- sunscreen
- sun glasses
- helmet
- water
- weather protection (depending on forecast and local conditions you may need sweatshirt, windbreaker, shower cap to put over helmet [see my article in May 2009 Budget Travel magazine], gloves)
- snacks (nuts, energy bar, fruit)
- $
- bike repair kit, pump, spare tire
- optional items that I usually take include cell phone (w/) GPS & bike light (front & back)
