Essential Cycling Gear

To help our customers prepare for longer and better rides, we have provided a list of recommended gear below — for both the bike and the rider! Many items on this list also make great gifts for family and friends.

TIP: Print this page, bring it into Landry's store, and use it as a handy shopping list.

FOR THE BIKE
	Hydration	Stay hydrated. It's important to drink lots of fluids on more strenuous, long-distance rides.
	Locks / Security	Keep your bike yours. Secure your bike during errand stops, snack breaks, or overnight stops on longer trips.
	Seat Bags	Be prepared. Carry spare tubes, tire levers, and patch kit in case of flats.
	Pumps / Inflation	Get pumped. Bike tires need to be inflated more frequently than car tires for better performance and to reduce flats.
	Lubes / Cleaners	Lube and clean your bike's chain. For better performance and longer wear. We recommend Boeshield T-9 lubricant, which is specially formulated for bicycles, available at Landry's stores.
	Multi-Tool Kit	Handle small repairs and adjustments yourself while out riding. Even if you don't know how to adjust a bike, other riders can help if you carry the right tools.
	Cycling Computer / GPS	Track your mileage on cue sheets and gauge speed and distance on the ride. Also great for training.
	Rear-View Mirrors	See what (or who) is coming up behind you while riding in traffic or doing group rides and big cycling events.
	Pedals	Choose between platform, toe clips/straps, and clipless pedals. We can help you choose which pedals are best for your riding style — just visit or contact your local Landry's store.
	Lights	Light up your ride. If you ride at night or on dark mornings, you need both a headlight and taillight — both to see where you're going and to be seen.
	Indoor Trainers	Stay in shape. Exercise with your bike in the comfort of your home.
FOR THE RIDER
	Helmets	Protect your head in case of a crash. Newer-style helmets are lighter-weight, more comfortable, and better ventilated.
	Cycling Shoes	Improve your cycling efficiency, performance, and comfort.
	Cycling Clothing	Cycling apparel features synthetic fibers for moisture wicking, temperature control, and overall body comfort. Check out Landry’s selection of cycling jerseys, shorts, gloves, socks, base layers, and more.
	Cycling Eyewear	Protect your eyes from the sun, insects, tree branches, pollen dust, and whatever else the wind is blowing your way.
	Landry's Expertise	As always, the team at your local Landry's store will provide friendly, knowledgeable assistance in helping you to select the cycling equipment that best fits your needs.
