Bicycle Lights There is a great selection of compact, bright, battery powered, clip on bicycle lights to choose from online today including high beam/low beam for extended battery life, halogen, LED, headlight, taillight, combos headband lights, helmet lights and more.
Bicycle Bags Good bicycle bags (cycle bags, packs and racks) are essential for trails and distance rides, touring and utility riding. I have always found that a very basic behind or under the seat pack work very well for most typical situations (trials, quick trips, etc.).
Bicycle Hydration (bicycle water bottles, packs, etc.) Water... Such a basic and simple need and it's everywhere... Except out on a long trail or road on a really hot day when you really need it! A good water supply... (as American Express used to say... "Don't leave home without it"!)
Bicycle Locks Help keep people honest. If you are going to leave your bike somewhere, you have to have some good bicycle locks.
Bicycle Clothing Mostly what you really need as far as bicycle clothing goes, of course, is what makes you comfortable (some people may require more style to be comfortable than others :-) ). First of all, dress for the weather. You will be much better off if you respect mother nature and consider what the conditions will be like on your entire ride...
Bicycle Car Racks Vans and pick-ups come in very handy for bike transportation. If that is not an option though, or if you just have too many riders coming with you or need the extra space... well you will be needing a bicycle car rack to get to the best riding locations.
