List of biking essentials
Spring is here and not only are your muscles a little rusty, but so is your memory. Each year you forget some essential item for your bike ride until you get back in the routine. Here’s a series of lists. Of course it depends where you’re going & for how long, so I assembled a series of lists depending on the bike trail, the length of the bike ride, and your purpose for riding:
Must have every trip:
- bike
- helmet
- water
- sunscreen
- sun glasses
Strongly suggested most rides:
- snack
- emergency cash
- bike light (front & back) (required by law in some places)
- camera
- padded shorts
- bike repair kit
- spare tire or at least a patch kit
- pump
- cell phone
- GPS (might already be on your phone)
Remember I said you might have sort of a rusty memory this time of year? Well that applies to me also, so please let me know what I forgot.
