Nice query! I began biking a few 12 months in the past and shortly realized that there are a couple of “non-obvious” necessities that make an enormous distinction. Probably the most essential? Bike lights.
I didn’t suppose I wanted them at first. I normally experience throughout the day, so lights felt pointless. However after a few cloudy afternoons and one experience that ran later than anticipated, I understood why skilled riders all the time point out them.
Seems, being seen is simply as essential as seeing the street.
Now I all the time experience with:
A shiny entrance mild (no less than 400 lumens)
A flashing rear mild for visibility—even throughout daylight
Each are USB rechargeable so I don’t cope with batteries
If I needed to begin over, I’d nonetheless put lights close to the highest of my checklist—proper after helmet and gloves.
