Don't leave home without 'em

Essential items for your bike journey

Whether you're on the daily commute to work or out for a weekend ride with your mates, Bicycleinfo's got you covered.

Essential items for your commute

Maybe you're new to cycling and not sure what to pack for your first commute to work, or perhaps you're a seasoned roadie who's heading out for a weekend away in the bush on a new mountain bike? Whatever and wherever you ride, you don't want to be caught out.

This will initially be a four part series, with new features being released every fortnight. The team at Bicycleinfo asked six very different riders what essential pieces of kit they carry with them, and why.
