You can never have enough bikes or gadgets to go on them. Here are some gizmos likely to be on every cyclist\u2019s wish list.<\/strong>

Lighting the trails<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Gemini Titan offers 4,000 lumens<\/a>, which is more than car headlights, which give out about 1,200 lumens. However, car headlights cast the lumens over a wide field of vision, so the Gemini Titan spreads the lumens using 6 individual forward facing cells. The result? The Titan lights the muddiest of trails in the darkest of forests.<\/p>\n

For the city slicker<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Revolights Eclipse<\/a> are a stylish solution to 360 lighting \u2013 they attach to your wheels and improve your visibility on the road. Part of a new breed of wheel-based rotating lighting systems, Revolights opt for a minimalist design. Be noticed, be safe.<\/p>\n

Smart shades for the serious cyclist<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Oakley\u2019s Radar Pace<\/a> feature accelerometers, gyroscopes, humidity sensors, and a barometer \u2013 Oakley are not messing about with this gadget. Unsurprisingly, the Radar Pace is aimed at the cyclist serious about their training.<\/p>\n

The Radar Pace will talk you through a training programme as you ride, and can even pair up with power meters, heart rate monitors, and cadence sensors. In fact, they\u2019ll hook up to anything via Bluetooth or ANT+. Oh\u2026 and did we mention that they\u2019ll shield your eye from glare?<\/p>\n

For the space-starved urbanite<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gadgets don\u2019t need to be electronic to be smart. If you\u2019d rather not leave your bike outside, but want to keep your home looking modern and sleek, treat your spouse to a SL\u00ceT bike rack<\/a>. When it\u2019s not in use it folds up flush to your wall \u2013 and when it is in use, you have a place to store your accessories. Beautiful design.<\/p>\n
