The comfortable spandex gloves are equipped with LED’s rated at 54 lumens and are designed to signal to vehicles or other cyclists when you will be making a turn.

Tannus Solid Rubber Bicycle Tire

Next up is a new solid rubber bicycle tire by Tannus. No one likes a flat tire, these new bicycle tires by Tannus are nearly indestructable. Although these tires are mainly geared for commuters, we still reccomend giving them a shot, especially if your commute is riddled with small thorns and other sharp debris that seem to always puncture your tires.

Water bottles are a cycling necessity that are often overlooked. We have tried many bottles over the years but this one really stood out. Gold Gulp’s BPA free 18 oz. Triton eco friendly water bottle keeps your water cold throughout your entire ride and you get to play a part in saving the environment with every use. For just how insulated this bottle is it is extremely lightweight and easy to take along on any ride long or short.

One of our favorites phone accessories this year is definitely the Delta Cycle Smartphone Caddy, this thing can bear the element and is ready to tag along on any ride. The phone mount even comes with a waterproof bag to keep any of your devices in.

We are loving their Home Mechanic Starter Tool Kit. The kit is small enough to throw in the car for a race or training, but comes equipped with basically all of the tools you will ever need, Make sure to take a look at our other including actions cameras and communication solutions.
