Ride Tools

Socks & Gloves

Socks and gloves are the finishing touches to any look on the trails although there are a few cyclists who choose to ride without gloves. For those like myself who need gloves to maintain a secure grip on the handlebar grips, a pair of gloves is necessary. I prefer gloves that can slip on without a velcro strap but either will be fine. 



   Backpack                                                                                                                        

When choosing a backpack for cycling, you want something that is large enough to carry the tools and snacks that you need to bring along and still be comfortable to wear. If your backpack is too high or to large that it is impeding your head movements or touching your helmet, you may want to go down a size.
Most packs will have a variety of internal pockets to keep everything organized. Another bonus of having a backpack is having a substantial supply of water. You can buy hydration bladders separately and they vary between 1L and 3L so if you’re headed for a long ride, you’ve got a good supply of water. If riding with a pack isn’t your cup of tea, some hip packs are equipped with water bottle holders or you can get a water bottle holder on the frame of your bike. Whichever you choose, it’s important to always bring water along for the ride.
