As the nights are getting shorter and days are getting longer (weather should be getting warmer) , we will all be itching to get out. To stay safe and warm we need to be think about what we wear and that when the sun fade we can be seen. So I picked out what I think we should all have when riding in the spring evenings.

Bike lights

We all tend to push ourselves that little bit extra in spring and cycle further than we wanted or get a puncture you may get caught in the dark. Below are a few bike lights I’ve found on Amazon that I think will make you see and be seen better.

Accessories

Road conditions in the string can range from snow to dry. The temperatures can also vary from -5C to 15C. So with that in mind below are a list of accessories I will take with me when riding outside this spring.

1) Good all weather tyres: (not really accessories but vital for spring)

My go to choice is either Continental Ultra GatorSkin 700 x 25C DuraSkin Tyre & Unisex’s Race Tube Wide 28″ Inner, Black, [25-622->32-630] Pack of 2 or Continental Unisex’s Grand Prix 4 Season Tyre, Black, 700 x 25 C & Unisex’s Race Tube Wide 28″ Inner, Black, [25-622->32-630] Pack of 2.
