Recommended accesories for cycling?

Question

im starting to do alot of road cycling(long distance) what are some upgrades/acessories you recommend as necessities?

Answer 1

I couldn't say any upgrades because I don't know what you have. As far as accessories:

helmet of course

lightly shaded sports glasses

gloves, standard and full finger for cool weather

padded shorts

a couple jerseys

cycling wind breaker

clipless shoes and pedals

tights of cooler weather

bike computer

water bottles of course

While I ride a lot I don't do a lot of 30 out and 30 back rides. I'm usually within 8 miles of my car so I usually don't carry pump, tubes or tools, phone or money. Many people do if riding solo miles away from help or a reasonable walk back.
