Nice query! I began biking a few yr 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 assume I wanted them at first. I often trip in the course of the day, so lights felt pointless. However after a few cloudy afternoons and one trip 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 trip with:
A vivid entrance gentle (a minimum of 400 lumens)
A flashing rear gentle for visibility—even throughout sunlight hours
Each are USB rechargeable so I don’t take care of batteries
If I needed to begin over, I’d nonetheless put lights close to the highest of my listing—proper after helmet and gloves.
