Now that the weather is a lot brighter and the days are getting longer, you’ll find that it’s the perfect season to take you bike out for a ride, which means one thing — time to treat yourself or a fellow cycling-loving pal to a few snazzy new bike accessories! Here’s our list of this season’s cycling must-haves.
TRACK THAT
If you’re ready to take your cycling capabilities to the next level and want to track your progress, then the Fitbit Versa 2 is the way to go. This nifty little gadget can do so much! For starters, its 24/7 heart rate tracker can work out how many calories you’re burning, your effort levels during bike rides and your cardio fitness level. It also tracks how much REM sleep you’re getting, gives you weather and news updates, can store and play more than 300 songs, along with doubling as a watch – making it the perfect gift for the gadget-lover in your life!
LOOK THE PART
Now is an ideal time to upgrade your cycling attire. Instead of going for the same old boring colours, why not switch things up a bit? These bright and fun high-waisted PowerHold leggings from Fabletics are designed to hold you in without holding you back. Just what you need to make sure that the next time you hop on the saddle, you’re looking and feeling as stylish as ever!
TAKE SHADE

In order to protect your beloved bike and give yourself peace of mind, perhaps you should think about investing in a bluetooth alarm bike lock. This waterproof, keyless gadget hooks right up to your phone, allowing you to leave your bike unattended knowing that if anyone were to tamper with the lock in any way an alarm would go off and you would be notified immediately.
