Bike "Starter Kit'
Discussion
Evening all, I am going to try and get back on my push bike after not really using one since I used to cycle to school 20 years ago. Got myself a hybrid bike off a mate but I have no more kit at all. Could you please offer any advise on the basics I will need for me and my son (10yrs):
Helmet
Bottles
Lights
Repair kit?
Any other stuff (safety?)
I am planning on starting very steadily on steady paths and quiet roads, only a few miles at a time so don't need any clothing unless hi viz is needed. Don't want to be spending the earth on things as I'm not convinced how it will pan out for us. Would be greatful to receive any suggestions or is it just a case of a trip to the local Halfords to get sorted?
I'm also going to look at a bike carrier/atatchement for my roof bars so any input on that would be great too. C Class mercedes, hoping to upgrade to a 3 series BMW soon.
Thanks in advance.
