Bicycle Gear
Bicycle Gear includes a wide ranging group of items that help keep a bike in tip-top condition. Mudguards, or fenders, protect the cyclist and moving parts from spray when riding through wet areas and chain guards protect clothes from oil on the chain while preventing clothing from being caught between the chain and crank set teeth. Kick stands keep a bicycle upright when parked.
Bicycle Gear also includes front-mounted baskets for carrying goods are often used. Luggage carriers and panniers mounted above the rear tire can be used to carry equipment or cargo. Parents sometimes add rear-mounted child seats and/or an auxiliary saddle fitted to the crossbar to transport children.
Bicycle Gear can also include Toe-clips and toestraps and clip less pedals help keep the foot locked in the proper position on the pedals, and enable the cyclist to pull as well as push the pedals—although not without their hazards, like locking a foot in when needed to prevent a fall. Technical accessories include cyclocomputers for measuring speed, distance, etc. Other accessories include lights, reflectors, security locks, mirror, water bottles and cages, and bell.
