Clothing & Accessories
Bike shorts are one of the most important items, followed by eyewear and gloves. Casual and baggy options are available. Layering of clothing is the key to riding in cold and wet weather. Think about what you really need for your climate and riding conditions.
Ensure the helmet has the Australian Standards sticker inside. Make sure that the helmet comes in a size that fits your head. Adjust the retention straps properly. Ensure there is adequate ventilation for the type of riding that you do.
Good rear lights are just as important as the front lights. Power efficient LED technology can produce enough light for basic road A single 3 watt LED can achieve similar results to a 6 to 10 watt halogen light. 10 watts or better in a halogen light will be adequate for off road riding. HID lights are still the brightest and most expensive option.
Locks are deterrents only. The best way to prevent theft is to not to leave your bike unattended. Cable locks are lighter but easier to cut. D locks are heavier but more secure.
Well chosen cycling shoes and pedals can make riding far more pleasant and efficient. Shoes and pedals operate as a system and should be purchased together. If you plan on walking in your cycling shoes, go for a mountain bike system rather than a road design. Try to get your cleats professionally installed if possible to avoid injury.

A pressure gauge isn’t always necessary, but can be helpful if you only have one pump. Dual or smart head pumps are the most convenient to use.
