7. Child Safety Carrier

Children up to approximately 18kg in weight can legally be transported in a properly designed carry seat, attached to the rear of the bicycle. To comply with safety standards the child safety carrier needs to be securely attached, fitted with a restraining harness, support the child, and prevent access to the spokes of the turning rear wheel.

8. Rear Carrier

Transporting your goods is made easy and safe with the use of luggage carriers. They are available in many different styles and sizes to suit a variety of requirements.

Note: Only properly designed and fitted luggage carriers should be used on your bicycle.

9. Pannier Bags

Carry bags equipped with several weather resistant compartments that usually fit either side of a rear mounted carrier. Ideal for bicycle touring - i.e. enable you to carry extra gear and keep it dry.

10. Saddle Bags

As the name implies, they attach under the seat for discreet storage for all your essentials, such as tools, a spare tube or a puncture kit. Other small bags are also available to fit on the handlebars, or in the corner of the main frame.

11. Bar Ends

Fitted to the ends of Mountain Bicycle handlebars, bar ends increase the rider’s hand positioning options, especially when climbing a hill.

12. Computer

A multi-function device enabling the rider to monitor their speed, distance travelled and time. Recommended for use when fitness training.

13. Mudguards

Help to minimise road dirt and water soiling your clothes and getting in eyes.

14. Water Bottles

Keeping well hydrated when riding is very important, especially in hot weather. Bicycle water bottles are available in various sizes and colours. They can be conveniently stored in frame mounted carry cages so that fluids are easily accessible.

15. Gloves

Wear gloves on long rides to prevent soreness and blisters on your hands or as means of protection in the event of a fall. They are available in a variety of colours and designs.
