Brooks Cambium C67 Saddle
Saddle sores are a real thing and can cut short an otherwise enjoyable bicycle trip. The new Cambium C67 is made for lasting comfort thanks to its flexible, natural rubber top and its special curved shape. The former absorbs shocks and bumps; the latter offers greater stability during your ride. It’s waterproof, reinforced with fiberglass and nylon, and includes aluminum rivets and steel rails for durability. $130. brooksengland.com
Slime Tire Tackle Kit
Noting is worse than getting a flat and then not having what you need to fit it.

Best of all, the Tire Tackle Kit comes in a compact case that fits easily in your bike bag. $14. shop.slime.com
Topeak Burrito Pack
Where and how you stow your gear can be almost as important as what you bring. The Burrito Pack mounts to your top tube, seat post, or saddle rails without the use of tools, which adds to its overall convenience. Like its name suggests, this is a roll-style pack, made with water repellent and stain resistant polyethylene to keep your gear safe and dry. Its three internal compartments fit a tire tube, CO2 cartridges and inflater, and tire levers. $40. topeak.com

Time XPRO 10
For those who crave speed and efficiency, the XPRO 10 offers a high level of performance. The bottom fairing was created to improve aerodynamics and protect the carbon blade. The XPRO 10 uses a hollow, stainless steel axle and a low stack height, which keeps the pedal lightweight with good clearance. Tension adjustment has three positions to precisely manage the pressure of the clamping mechanism. $175. time-sport.us
MPOWERD Luci Solar Bike Light Set
The Luci is an elegant option for riding at night. Its adjustable silicone strap allows the lights to be attached to any standard handlebar or seat post. You charge it via the built-in solar panel or quick-charge USB port (one charge lasts up to 15 hours). The lights are featherweight and offer four modes up to 100 lumens. The casing is rain and puddle proof, and we even love the modern, minimalist design aesthetic. $65. mpowerd.com
