Whats your go-to cycling accessory or gadget that makes you think how did I ever ride without this? Is it something thats improved your performance, increased your safety, or simply made your ride more enjoyable? Perhaps its a clever tool thats saved you from a roadside repair, or a gadget thats helped you track your progress and stay motivated. Whatever it is, Id love to hear about it and discover some new must-haves for my own rides.

Overrated, fancy gadgets? Never needed them. Me and my trusty bike, we go way back. It's not about tech, it's about the ride. Never understood the fuss about tracking progress or fixing repairs on the road. Just hop on and pedal.

A cycling computer is a game-changer, not a gadget. It provides essential data, like speed and distance, making rides more productive. But some may find it distracting, shifting focus from the joy of riding to numbers. Nonetheless, it's a valuable tool for training and tracking progress.
