Friday Five: Bike Accessories I Want

July 20, 2012 by Mary

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for details.

Every time I look for something on Amazon I end up getting sucked into looking at new things for my bike. There are so many amazing bike accessories on there that you can look at things for hours and easily spend a couple hundred dollars on bike accessories.

I have a wish list of bike accessories I think are cool and want to purchase for my bike. If you bike, maybe you will like them too!

Five Bike Accessories on my Wish List

Some of these bike accessories are just for fun and others are super practical items for my bicycle. Since bikes are a mix of fun and practicality this is the perfect mix!

1. Hello Kitty Bell

Hello kitty bell

I love me some Hello Kitty. It’s something that is long lasting from my childhood that I still love to this day. I want a bell for my bike and this would make me happy every time I look at it as well as be practical for alerting people to my presence. This is technically a child’s bike accessory, but biking always makes me feel like a kid so I think it is perfect!

2. Click Bike Lights (back and front combo)

Click bike lights

I had a pair of similar click lights which were awesome because they were so easy to put on and move and switch between bikes. I’m not sure where they went so I need a new pair so I can ride at night again!

If you bike at night you need to make sure you have some type of click lights or other light for your bike. Biking at night without a light is super dangerous! You want to be as visible as possible to all other rides and motorists. Get these bike lights and don’t take safety lightly.

3. Avenir Quick Release Front Wheel Basket

Bike basket

I like the look of wire baskets rather than wicker and also like the idea of it being quick release since I don’t want a basket on my bike 24/7. This wire bike basket would be perfect for taking lunch or other items around on a daily ride to work. It would also work for quick grocery trips. And you can always remove it from your bike if you want to ride without it.

4. Silver Skull and Cross Bone Bicycle Reflective Sticker Decal

Sticker decal

I think this would go perfectly with my hello kitty bell, right? Perhaps then no one would steal my bike because they would think I’m too much of a badass who would track them down! Plus, more visibility for night time bike rides which I love. There are lots of reflective stickers in all kinds of styles and shapes. If you don’t like this one then check out other reflective bike stickers.

5. AOSOMPet Bike Trailer

Dog bike trailer

I’m only half joking about wanting this. I do want to get a bike trailer at some point and though I probably won’t get this one I like the idea of taking JuJu around for a ride. It would be awesome to be able to go places with her without a car or walking! She has tried running alongside me as I bike but she is too easily distracted.

In addition to bike trailer for hauling dogs and kids, you can get a trailer to haul just about anything. Bike power can move around a lot of stuff and be really practical. I know someone that does landscaping powered only by his body and bike. If you can hook up a bike trailer to your bike you can do just about anything!

All of these bike accessories are great ideas for me or really anyone. A bike bell, click bike lights, bike basket, reflective bike stickers, and a bike trailer are all super practical and useful bike accessories. You might want to customize them to fit the style you or your loved one likes, but they are great bike gift ideas! You should also check out my favorite cool bike helmets.

And there ya have it! Maybe I’ll get all these for Christmas for my next super cool bike! ;)

    I love all of these! I promised my brother to buy him a bike in August so these accessories really would set it apart :D (he might not dig the hello kitty bell as much as i do though haha!)
