Even a simple errand may require you to carry something on your bike. Choose your best solution from Shahid Cycling Club for accessories
Daypack or messenger bag: For light loads and short
trips. Highly versatile. Goes where you go, with or without the bike.
Carry a patch kit . Learning to patch up your own flat tire can prevent you from being stranded in an unsafe or remote location
Front basket:
Adds Euro style and carrying capacity for a few items. A smaller
option for the front of the bike is a handlebar bag.
Rear
rack and panniers or basket:
For heavier loads over longer distances. Some panniers double as a
shopping basket or shoulder bag. Best for commuters and committed
urban cyclists.
Bring drinking water for longer rides. This is especially important if you’re mountain biking
Avoid long scarves and billowy skirts or long jackets, which can tangle in the rear wheel or brakes. On bikes without a chainguard, long pants can get caught up in the chain or get oil marks
Pants:
If they are not tights, either roll up or tuck the pant leg into a
sock on the chain side, or secure with a rip-and-stick strap to
prevent the leg from flapping onto the chain
Shoes:
No need for cycling shoes.
Regular shoes are more versatile. A grippy sole will help keep
your feet on the pedals. If you wear smooth-soled shoes, a strapless
pedal toe clip will prevent your feet sliding forward.
Jacket:
The discomforts of rain and wind can be lessened with a suitable
wind or waterproof jacket. For serious wet weather protection, add
rain pants and shoe covers.
As urban cycling becomes more popular, you'll find clothing that blends cycling function with city fashion. Stretchy wind resistant fabric, discrete reflective accents, and hidden roll-up pant tabs help you ride, work and play without looking like a spandex fashion model

Be visible:
Wear a bright jacket/top or white helmet. Equip your bike with front
and rear flashing safety lights, and use them at night and in gloomy
daylight conditions. For extra visibility, add spoke lights.
Be
legal:
To earn respect, show
respect to other road users. Ride with traffic, not against it. Use
bike lanes where available. Observe the road rules. Ride in single
file. Ride on the street or in a bike lane, not on the sidewalk
unless this is permitted. The sidewalk may feel safer, but you must
stay alert for pedestrians and driveway traffic.
Be
predictable:
Don’t ride
erratically or weave in and out of cars. Hand signal your turning
intention before you enter the turn. Be courteous to other road users
by not needlessly blocking lanes or impeding traffic flow, unless the
safest action is to "take a lane." When riding with family
or friends, focus on the traffic and not the chat
Bike riding is a spectacular way to stay fit and an increasingly popular way to get from place to place. Even the most casual neighborhood bike ride, however, has you traveling at relatively high speeds while exposed to the elements and to other vehicles—with no metal car frame to blunt the impact of a crash
