Other useful bike accessories
Hand grips
Hand grips are installed on the handlebars of a bike. Our hands start to hurt after riding through traffic after long hours and a soft handgrip can help to counteract this problem. Hand grips also stop the vibration a bit from getting to your hands which makes riding more enjoyable and also provides a special look to the handlebars of your bike.
Disc brake locks
Since nowadays almost all bikes come with a front disc brake so this accessory can be used by most riders. If you get that feeling that your bike may get stolen then this is for you. In India, we hear the news of thieves robbing a bike by breaking the handle lock. This disc brake lock will give an extra layer of security.
But if you really want to travel an extra mile, then you can go and buy a disc brake lock with an alarm. These will notify you whenever someone tries to tamper with the lock.
Mobile phone holder with charger
While riding bikes, we sometimes need to access the map to see the road route for which mobile is the best option. To have continuous access to our mobile, a mobile phone holder on our bike is necessary. We can also see who is calling without stopping the bike and reaching our pockets.
Mobile phone holders can also come with chargers to charge your mobile on the go. This way, your mobile will never run out of battery no matter how long your ride with the screen and map on. Great relief!
Air suspension seat
The reason for discussing this accessory at the last is simple! Because nowadays bike seats come with enough cushioning from the factory itself. This statement is more valid for touring bikes as they are meant for traveling long distances and manufacturers need to think about the comfort of these bikes.
Still, if you want to enhance the seating comfort to the next level then an air suspension seat is the best thing to get. Bad roads can make your back pain and ass numb and an air suspension seat has got your back. These seats are very comfortable and absorb harsh vibrations. There are air-filled compartments and this technology is just awesome.
