10 things you need for autumn cycling!

[@KWB9541]

Hello. A very good list of the basics, thank you. I would add, please, a number 11. A larger capacity bag or a small pack since in any given autumn day there is often a need to add or remove garment layers as sunlight and temperatures quickly shift within a few hours. Blessings! KB

Thanks 🙏 Good addition to the list, totally agree. What bag do you use?

[@KWB9541]

Depending on road and weather conditions, the forecast, and my ride plan (distance, duration, and elevation variables and choices), there are two bags from which I will select one. For the smaller scale rides, I use the Osprey Savu 5 which fits around my waist. For the larger scale rides, I use an Osprey Syncro 12 which fits on my back. Both are specifically designed for cycling and, as a road cyclist, they effectively and comfortibly serve me well.

just to add that a rear jersey pocket and carry a folded light jacket if you dont want to add a bag.. i do this so my radar unit stays in the clear. a half frame bag would be my choice if i had to add one.

It's been really wet here in the UK the last month. Drier weather forecast next 3 days. I can't wait to get out cycling. But not looking forward to the mud.

Kind of similar here in Sweden, rain every day but fortunately some sun occasionally. Mentioning mud, seems like you are riding MTB or Gravel, am I right?

@@mattiasgriot no I have a gazelle ultimate C380. It’s a hybrid e-bike which I ride on roads but also trails. It gets muddy on the trails especially after several days of rain.
