Cycling Equipment I Bring Along on My Rides

Riding on the road should be lightweight, but if you are aiming at experiencing a great bike ride, there are a few things to consider regarding the cycling equipment you bring along. Here’s a quick snap-shot of the stuff I usually carry with me.

(7, 8, 9) Sensors (speed, heart rate, cadence) — a GPS device will track your position the same as your mobile phone, only more precise. Once you paid a couple of hundred Euros for the device, it just makes sense to make the most of it. That’s where additional sensors come in. A dedicated speed sensor on your wheel will keep track of your precise speed, an HR sensor around your chest will measure your heart rate, while the cadence sensor on the pedal, will know the exact number of times you turned the pedal.

So there you go — if there were one word to describe all the cycling equipment to bring on your ride, it would be the comfort. Road bike rides tend to be long, and you want to get as comfortable as you can to enjoy your trip the most.

Always bring water! I didn’t put it on the list, because a bottle of fresh water should be a part of your bike — just like wheels, saddle, and pedals. The same thing goes for a small multitool.

Enjoy your ride!
