Bike Gear
It is possible to ride your bike without much gear, but it’s worth keeping in mind that in order to have the best experience, you should look into purchasing some bike gear. This does not mean that you will need to purchase every piece of gear available—though safety gear, at a minimum, should be a must-buy—but select gear options can greatly enhance the overall experience.
Again, the most important piece of gear you will need is a helmet. This can make the difference between life and death if you happened to fall (which hopefully you won’t, but it’s better to be safe), and you should never go riding without one. You might also look into buying specialized bike clothing, which can improve your aerodynamics and comfort while riding. Biking gloves are also highly recommended.From there, there is a wide variety of gear available. What you need will depend on your specific bike and your particular needs. If you will be riding on fairly rocky or terrain or undeveloped roads, additional safety equipment such as elbow pads and kneepads are recommended. If you’ll just be taking your bike casually through the mountains, this likely won’t be as necessary.
