You scramble for a spare tyre, only to realise you didn’t pack one. Avoid this situation by packing all the essentials for a bike ride. Packing the right tools and educating yourself on how to use them will make the job easier and get you back on the bike quicker.
Carry these essentials in your jersey pockets or a small backpack.
If you’re commuting to work, going for a much longer ride, or you just don’t like the feeling of heavy backpacks and/or pockets, you may like to carry your belongings on the bike as opposed to on the person.
‘On the bike‘ refers to devices that put the weight of your items on the bike, which means that your body is free to move without being weighed down.
Pannier bags stay on your bike in a fixed position whilst frame bags (also called bento bags) are fixed to the frame.
You’ll need to work out what type of riding you will be doing and cater the needs of your pack to that type or riding. Experiment with different methods and talk with other cyclists to get your packing skills just right.
