What cycling gear do I need besides a bike rack?
The cycling gear you need depends on how you ride, transport, and store your bike. Bike locks help with security, bike baskets and panniers add carrying space, bike trailers can carry kids or additional cargo, and repair and storage gear can help you take care of your bike between rides.
What's the best way to transport my bike?
A vehicle bike rack is usually the easiest option. Hitch bike racks are popular because they're easy to load, while roof, trunk, truck bed, spare tire, RV, and trailer bike racks work for different vehicles and travel setups. Start with your vehicle, then consider how many bikes you're carrying and their weight.
What's the difference between a bike trailer and a bike rack?
A bike rack carries your bicycle on a vehicle. A bike trailer attaches behind a bicycle and can carry kids, cargo, or other gear while you're riding. Choose based on whether you need to transport the bike with your vehicle or carry something behind the bike itself.
How can I carry more gear on my bike?
Bike baskets and pannier bags add carrying space directly to your bike and work well for everyday essentials. If you need to bring more gear, a bike cargo trailer provides additional capacity behind your bike.
How should I store my bike at home?
Wall-mounted bike hangers help save floor space, while freestanding bike racks work well when you don't want to mount hardware. If you also need somewhere to keep your vehicle bike rack when it's not in use, dedicated bike rack storage can help keep it off the floor and out of the way.
What do I need for basic bike maintenance?
A bike repair stand can make maintenance easier by holding the bike securely while you work. Basic bike tools and replacement tubes are useful for common adjustments and repairs. What you need will depend on your bike and how much maintenance you plan to do yourself.
