ESSENTIAL CYCLING GEAR
The gear you need to enjoy your ride
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.
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.
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.
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.
Lights
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.
Seat Bags
Be prepared. Carry spare tubes, tire levers, and patch kit in case of flats.
Pedals
Choose between platform, toe clips/straps, and clipless pedals. We can help you choose which pedals are best for your riding style.
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.
