The flexibility of a cable lock, security of a U-lock, and more compact than either, the Bordo is not only the best way to lock up your wheels, it’s also extremely effective as well. When folded, the lock fits snugly into the included rubber mounting-bracket and isn’t much wider than your bike frame. We LOVE this lock.
A bicycle bell that gives times two! Impossible you say? Not only will those that receive this beautiful bell be safer on the bike trail, but you can feel about it too! Why? Because SPURCYCLE is donating $25 from each one of these bells they sell! Yes! Money raised will help support two community non-profits: San Francisco Bicycle Coalition and Bend Bikes. This limited-edition version of the Original Spurcycle bell is made in the good ‘ol, USofA, and provides a powerful sounding ring from any bicycle that it’s mounted upto. Give and do good at the same time!

Choosing the right bell is almost as important as choosing the right bicycle. Electra’s “Ding Dong” is a great bell, and comes in a variety of colors – some even coordinate with Electra’s bicycle models. There isn’t anything better than the joy that comes out of a ringing bell while riding a bicycle. Go ahead, annoy your neighbors, it’s worth it.

Brooks accessories are all about quality and have been around almost as long as cruiser bicycles have been about fun. The B135 features double rear coil springs and a double hairpin front spring. $200 • brooksengland.com
Imagination is delicious, isn’t it? Now your rug rats can actually look the part when pretending to be a bike-riding shark monster, and you can protect their grey matter too. An entire menagerie of characters await (bunnies! ladybugs! gorillas!) on helmets so rad that kids will actually want to wear them. These lids also exceed U.S. standards for safety, making them even cooler.

Stealth is a lie. This air horn of a bicycle light should be measured in decibels; it won’t just blind you, it’ll make you deaf, too. Attached to your bicycle, you’ll be seen miles away on the beach, and you’ll be a lighthouse in your spare time.

It’s not every day you find a bicycle lock that doubles as a fashion accessory. Well, here ya go. This patented bicycle locking system can save you some serious headaches (ie not having your bike stolen) but it’ll also keep your pants up! That’s right, the Hiplok is a bicycle lock AND a belt. We’ve been using our Hiplok for quite some time and it’s super strong and incredibly handy to carry when it’s wrapped around your waist. The locking mechanism (aka buckle) is super easy to use, and includes three keys – because if you’re like us – you’ll probably need the backups. A great lock to replace that cheap, flimsy cable lock you’ve been using to secure your bike.

Considered to be one of the best bells on the market, its simple design has remained unchanged for decades. Featuring a no nonsense, spring-loaded lever strike mechanism that you won’t want to stop ringing. The best part is that it will look great on the bars of any classic or modern bicycle.
