What are bike accessories for travel?
You’ve got the obvious suspects, like bike bags, bike boxes and wheel guards. However, other bike travelling accessories include pulling handles to make moving those big, bulky items easier.
Distance keepers act as essential spaces with TPE padding to protect the bike’s frame and forks so they don’t compress during the commute.
Protection sets typically include a chain protector, foam tubes, spacers for dropouts, and front fork ends. These are very nifty all-in-one boxes that provide key items to keep the bike and bike parts safe.
Bag wheels are also convenient - such a small item can be the difference between a trip from heaven or one from hell! Anyone who has walked miles to the airport carpark knows what we mean!
Which bike travel accessories are essential?
We think they all are! However, if we had to select our top picks, we would go for bike travel bag accessories that protect the most expensive pieces of kit. So a bike box or bag to safeguard the bike itself is our number one accessory.
A very close second place would be bike wheel guards or wheel bags. We’ve all heard stories of spikes breaking and rims damaged by airline carriers. Guard bags do what it says on the bickie tin!
