A rain coat is lightweight, so it is recommended to take it with you on a bike trip, even if you do not expect rain. A rain cape is very cheap, but it will protect you by an order of magnitude better than an expensive jacket.

Cycling gloves – will be useful to every cyclist. Gloves perform not only the function of protecting hands from blisters, scratches or cuts, but also significantly compensate for vibrations from cycling.

Glasses – it’s better, of course, to immediately choose high-quality bicycle glasses, but ordinary ones will fit in the first pair. Glasses are important because they protect the cyclist’s eyes not only from the sun, but also from insects, rain, dust and wind.

Rubber slippers are mandatory when the cycling route involves fording the river, in which case they are not replaceable. Otherwise, they are just comfortable to move around the summer camp.

A belt bag – just like a handlebar bag, allows you to more correctly mark important things on a bike trip. Thanks to the belt bag, you will have faster and more convenient access to your essentials. Moreover, it is safe to store all the most valuable things there.

Shoe covers – for a while will save your shoes and part of the leg below the knee from dirt and moisture. Of course, most shoe covers provide little protection, but they certainly won’t be superfluous, since they weigh little. An alternative to shoe covers are ordinary plastic bags.

Cyclists use jackets in bright colors to be more visible to car drivers. Over time, it is better to purchase a special bike jacket.

Shorts, pants, T-shirts, underpants and socks – the remaining elements of the cyclist’s wardrobe are quite simple and everyday, take enough of them that would probably be enough for the whole bike trip. In extreme cases, most of them can always be washed along the way. We recommend stocking up on warm socks.
