Helmet, lock, pump, saddle bag and more: In this overview we have selected the most useful items for cyclists.

A bicycle as a means of transport offers many advantages, especially compared to a car.

There is no need to search for a parking space and it does not have to be refueled regularly - it only has to be charged if it is an e-bike.

And since cycling keeps you moving, it's good for your overall fitness and health.

The bike is also ideal for day trips or even holidays.

Anyone planning to be out and about by bike for a longer period of time should have other equipment ready in addition to the bicycle helmet.

In the following section, we reveal which cycling equipment should not be missing and which gadgets are particularly practical.

Cycling equipment: what every cyclist should have with them

• Bicycle helmet

  : Whether over long or short distances: Safety always comes first on the road.

  A well-fitting bicycle helmet is therefore indispensable.

• Bicycle light

  : In addition to the reflectors, the bicycle light is also very important for your own safety so that you are also visible in the evening.

• Bicycle bell

  : With a bell you can draw the attention of other road users in good time.

• Bicycle Pump

  : Since the tires will lose air after a while, you should have a bicycle pump with you.

• Bike lock : With a strong lock you ensure that your bike will not be stolen

  .

• Bags or backpacks

  : On a longer tour, it is best to keep your mobile phone, wallet, keys and provisions in one bag.

• Tool

  : Is the handlebar a bit loose?

  Or does the seat need to be adjusted?

  You should be prepared for such cases.
