As a passionate cyclist, whether you’re a professional rider or a weekend warrior, owning the right gear can significantly enhance your cycling experience. From advanced tech gadgets to essential safety equipment, this comprehensive guide brings you the top must-have gadgets for cyclists that will revolutionise your biking adventures.
Bike Phone Mounts
A reliable bike phone mount is a must for urban riders or long-distance tourers. The Peak Design Universal Bar Mount and Peak Design Out Front Bike Mount are top-notch choices.
Bike Computers
A reliable bike computer, such as the Garmin Edge 530, can provide a wealth of data to optimise your biking performance. For those on a tighter budget, the Garmin Edge 130 Plus offers excellent value.
Smart Trainers
Smart trainers like the Elite Suito T Interactive Trainer and Wahoo Fitness KICKR can provide a realistic riding experience indoors, perfect for maintaining your fitness during off-season or bad weather.
Smart Locks
A smart lock, like the ABUS 770A SmartX Bicycle Lock, can provide enhanced security with the convenience of Bluetooth connectivity and an alarm feature.
Smart Band Trackers
A smart band tracker like the WHOOP Strap 4.0 Tracker can help you monitor and optimise your performance by tracking various health and fitness metrics.
Bike Lights
Bike lights are a must-have for any cyclist who rides in low-light conditions. Look for front and rear lights with multiple modes, good battery life, and easy mounting options. We’d recommend the Lezyne SuperDrive 1600XXL, or the Lezyne HectoDrive 500XL for a more budget-friendly option.
Electric Bike Pumps
Ditch manual pumping! Electric bike pumps inflate tires at the push of a button, perfect for effortless top-ups after rides. Our favorites are the GERRIT 100PSI for its compact size and high pressure, and the CYCLAMI Mini Electric Tire Pump for its digital gauge, auto-shutoff, and portability.
Heart Rate Monitors
Heart rate monitors can help you train more effectively by providing real-time data about your heart rate. There are plenty of options out there – consider monitors that can be worn comfortably and pair with your bike computer or smartphone.
Action Cameras
Capture your exciting rides and scenic routes with a high-quality action camera. Consider cameras like the GoPro Hero 12, that offer high-resolution video, image stabilisation, and a durable, waterproof design.
Wireless Earbuds
Wireless earbuds can provide entertainment during your rides without the hassle of wires. Look for earbuds with good sound quality, a secure fit, and a long battery life. We like the Sony LinkBuds, but earbuds can be a very subjective topic!
