There are lots of things to buy for you as a cyclist. Hose, pump and tire collector. These are some of the things the magazine does Bicycling.se recommends that you who will be cycling on the road take you on the tour. On the practical side, they also recommend mini tools with chain changers, extra chain link and pins and self-adhesive punk patches.
In addition, the road cyclist can advantageously carry an identity card, mobile phone, windbreaker or similar and an energy supplement in the form of cake or gel. Money is also recommended. Of course, it is always good to bring along. Then it is true that although it is considerably cheaper to ride a bicycle than to drive a car, there is a lot of equipment to buy as a cyclist. For some reason, bicycle accessories always look very nice, not to mention the bikes. Sometimes you need a loan to be able to buy things, and then a variant is to collect your loans in order to lower the cost of the loan. Sambla offers it the opportunity.
In the book "Passion Bikes & Cycling" (Barthelson Publishers), author David Perry notes that there is a "astonishing" wide range of bicycle accessories and equipment. It covers everything from bicycle bags, bike baskets, signal horns and package holders to highchairs, bicycle computers, locks, handlebars and bicycle pumps. Then there are lots of fancy clothes you can wear in the form of padded cycling pants, even special cycling underwear, helmets of course and special shoes for different types of cycling. Bicycle shoes usually have a stiffer sole than other types of shoes. This creates increased stability for the feet and facilitates trampling. The lightest and most flexible are shoes made for road cycling, says David Perry, while urban cycling shoes are the most elegant.
Some of us get runny in the eyes when it's windy. Given the speed winds that arise when cycling, another useful piece of equipment may be glasses. Today there is a large selection of special sports bike goggles. When the English newspaper Independent tested glasses for cycling 2017, journalist Aaron Roe pointed out that if you look at pictures from the mid-1980s, professional cyclists do not wear glasses. It has significantly more today, although not everyone has it. When it comes to models, they are of course in different price ranges and it is also possible to combine sunglasses with ground glasses. There are models where you can switch between different colors of the lenses in the same frame. Then you can have transparent if you just want wind protection, yellow for increased contrast and darker variants for protection against sun.
