Bicycle Commuting Gear - Be Comfortable and Safer
16
items All of the best things I've had for bicycle commuting over the last almost 20 years! Lots of suggestions for cooler, wetter weather.
The SO swears by this jacket - keeps him warm and comfortable in the gnarliest of storms. Hard wearing - he's had it for probably almost a decade now, so definitely not a throw away and well worth the price.
Showers Pass Syncline CC Cycling Jacket - Men's | REI Co-op
Cycling boots are MUST have for winter commuting. 45nrth is great for people who need extended sizes.
Ragnarok Tall Boot
A good bag is a must - My go to is a classic messenger. I like this style as it sits low on my back for stability and the single strap spares my bad shoulder. Custom configure in any colors you like - for me dark purple (it shows less dirt) with a bi...
Custom Classic Messenger Bag - M / Configured
If you prefer a backpack like my SO, the Robin is perfect. Roomy enough for a change of clothes and a lunch, with a big reflective patch on the back for safety. If you need more room, check out the Clark, same great design, bigger bag.
Robin Commuter Backpack - OS / Jet Black
The classic bike taillight - and they keep making it better - now it's rechargeable. Super bright and long lasting run time. My favorite taillight.
Superflash USB Taillight
Great lights from a great company- light enough for helmet mount, bright enough to light your way, no matter how dark it gets.
Lumina Micro 900 Front Bike Light
The perfect accessory light - I use this one on flash for added visibility. Not overly bright, so less blinding for traffic approaching you. As an added bonus NiteRider has the best customer service *ever* when the rubber strap broke on mine, I email...
Swift 300 Front Bike Light
The biggest, brightest, easiest to use reflective straps I've ever used. Soft neoprene stays put wherever you want it. Long lasting too.
Reflective Ankle Bands
These awesome tights have kept me warm and cosy in all weather - from driving rain to frost mornings. No chamois - wear them *over* your regular shorts. Fairly quick drying - so they aren't wet in the evening if the morning commute was soggy.
Obsidian Women's Thermal Bib Tight
There are no socks better than the SockGuy… My SockGuy wool cyclings socks have stood the test of decades without stretching out or developing holes - and they keep my feet toasty. Plus they come in fun patterns.
Sasquatch Wool Socks
When its warmer SockGuy still won't let you down - Hundreds of super fun patterns in crew and low styles.
Monkey See 3D socks
Great lighter weight full finger gloves - good for cool but not frigid days. Great wind protection with a bit of warmth without being bulky. Fit my small hands very nicely.
Santic Cycling Gloves
Love - love -love my Walz earflap cap. Toasty head, toasty ears on the coldest of days. Fits under my helmet with ease.
Grey/Black Stripe Wool Flannel Ear Flap Cap
If you are more of a minimalist, like my SO, grab a ear warmer headband instead.
Dynamax Headband
This pump will not let you down - packs a ton of power in a small package. Has a foot pad for leverage (especially good, if like me you don't have the arm strength to get up to a good pressure with a regular frame pump) and a built in pressure gauge ...
Mini Morph Pump
My first Sea to Summit bag gave me about 15 years of hard wearing service before I had to replace it. This little bag keeps my work clothes clean and dry and compresses a little so that they don't take up so much space. I wouldn't commute without it.
