The bike accessories guide
The right accessories make every ride safer, more comfortable and more capable. Here's how to think about what you actually need.
Ride safe and be seen
In Australia, a working light (white front, red rear) is required by law when riding at night or in low light, and most states require a bell or warning device. Rear-facing radar units and bright daytime running lights add a big margin of safety on the road.
Stay hydrated
A bottle and cage is the cheapest performance upgrade you can make; for longer trail and gravel days, a hydration pack carries water plus tools and spares.
Track and train
A bike computer turns every ride into data — navigation, structured training and ride history — and pairs with heart-rate and speed/cadence sensors. Riding through winter? An indoor trainer keeps your fitness up.
Protect your investment
A quality lock or a tracker/alarm is essential if you leave your bike unattended, and frame protection keeps cable rub and rock strikes from marking your frame.
Carry your gear
From saddle bags for essential tools and tubes, to car racks for getting to the trailhead, to bikepacking luggage for overnight adventures.
