BICYCLE ACCESSORIES

If there’s anywhere you need a 15-in-1 tool, it’s on a bike. We’ve tried carrying a full toolbox on rides. Doesn’t work. The Wheel Handy™ Bicycle Multitool from Protocol® measures 3-1/2” x 1-3/4” x 1”, and slips into the included nylon pouch that you can attach to your belt or seat post. Tool has (6) hex (Allen) key wrenches (2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5 & 6mm), a socket adapter, (3) sockets (8,9 & 10mm), (3) socket wrenches (8, 10 & 15mm), a 14 GE spoke wrench, and both a Phillips and slotted screwdriver. All tools, like your will to keep riding, are made of steel.

This COB LED headlamp has (7) modes, (3) colors (white, red and green) and (2) top-mounted multi-stage switches.Comfortable, too, with an inch-wide, adjustable 20” elastic headband and a 40-degree tilting head. Packing a 5W, 350 lumen lattice white light that has high, medium, low and strobe modes and a multi-color 3W 180 lumen COB LED that cycles through red, green and white light. All this fits in a housing that measures 2-1/2” x 1-3/4” x approx 1-1/4” and has a range of 300ft. Hike late into the night, keep your hands free during a power outage, use the red light option for telescope viewing or the green light better contrast and vision at night. Requires (3) AAA batteries, not included.

"Laser" safety lights each with super bright LEDs run by (2) "AA" batteries that you supply. It's square and has a flashing or steady LED lamp visible up to 2500 feet (distance may be exaggerated). A 2" x 2-1/2" red plastic reflecting lens covers (3) lamps. Hook it on your belt or pack with the belt clip, use the included elastic strap for arm or leg mounting, or the included aluminum flange to attach it to your bike. It's great for general use as a warning device or as an emergency signal for roadside breakdowns.

Our classic bike accessory is LED-free, battery-free, and happily wireless. The retro bike horn has two tones (one while squeezing, the other while the bulb inhales). The tone is much more a Clarabellian quack (search the Web for Howdy Doody if you're too young to remember Clarabell) than a deep Harpo Marxian (ditto) honk. Measures 8" long with a 2-3/8" bell and a rubber bulb that will be either red, black, or purple. Includes a removable handlebar mount.

Originally a fire safety escape kit, you'll get a headlamp (which is the meat and potatoes of the kit) with (8) white LEDs on a pivoting bracket with adjustable elastic straps that are nominally approx 8" across and powered by (3) included “AAA” batteries. Also comes with a screw hook, a suction cup child locator, and (10) reflective 2" arrow stickers. But it’s the LED lamp, at our great price, that makes this one so attractive.

You say you don't need your foot pumped up? How about your beach ball? Bicycle tire? Air mattress? Attach the quick-connect valve head of the pump and tromp away on the foot pedal. The heavy-duty metal pump has a high-pressure hydraulic air chamber, 100 psi pressure gauge, 24" air hose, and non-slip rubber feet. Comes with (1) universal valve adapter (Attached.) and (1) tapered nozzle. (Inflation needle not included.)

Nifty device that takes maxi air and squeezes it down into a mini condition. The device is roughly 6-1/2"" long x 6" tall x 4" wide. It has a 10 ft. cord that plugs into an auto lighter socket: i.e. it runs on 12VDC @ 10 amps. Air output is via a 12" hose with a variety of valve adapters for tires, soccer balls, rubber rafts and the like. Complete with a 0-250 psi gauge. Which should be plenty of pressure to explode a weak bike tire or flimsy beach ball, so please be careful!

Hook these on the zipper pulls on your jackets and you'll never be in the dark again. Tiny LED lights measure 1" x 9/16" in a 5/16" thick oblong, and come on a 7/8" long lanyard clip. We'll pick some that will go with your eyes, in blue, green, black or red. Include little button cell batteries that can be replaced if you're the sort of person who does that.

Or turn this versatile pivoting headlamp instead. From i-Zoom®, this lamp is a serious piece of equipment, not some disposable cheapo. Has high/low/flashing modes, precise slide focus and a max of a super-bright 350 lumens. Comes with (3) “AAA” batteries in a separate rubber-covered compartment at the back of (3) adjustable elastic straps. Will pivot down (4) clicks from straight ahead to straight down. Mfr says it’s good for a 5-hour cycle on fresh batteries. Fear not the darkness with this beauty.

Until someone reinvents the bicycle wheel, they’re going to keep getting low once in a while. Best to have a pump like this one, the Genius Pump. It’s portable, obviously, and telescoping and mountable. Includes a side mount for your bike, plus (2) mounting screws and a safety LED light as a bonus. Pump works with both Schrader and Presta valves.

Mountain bicycle handle grips, all new, slightly soft black rubber. All first quality. Great for replacements. Not a biker? Try them as bump protectors on mops and brooms and oars. Or for improving grip on fishing and butterfly nets, ski poles, and miscellaneous handles around the factory, home or office!! For 3/4" handles but will go all the way up to 1" with some lubing and some muscle. A must have for any garage.

It's hard to make a good exit if your feet keep slipping off the pedals. We have acquired (2) styles of replacement bike pedals, so you can depart in dignity. Cheap dignity. Flat-top pedals give each foot a 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" hard plastic platform on a shaft with 1/2" dia x 7/8" threaded end. Both pedals threaded counter-clockwise. These "excel" pedals may have been made for an exercise bike. Concave pedals are 1-3/16" thick and have slightly dished 2-5/16" x 4" faces. These come in lefts and rights (you'll get one of each) with 1/2" x 1/2" clockwise and counterclockwise threaded shafts.

As you know, it's now against the Hydration Laws to travel outside your home without carrying a bottle of water. So, we offer these tension-spring water bottle holders for your bicycle. Lightweight aluminum and plastic, they're a cage design, 6-1/2" tall, nominally 2-1/4" inside, opening about 2" more, and come with mounting hardware. You pick the standard "Spring and Sip" or the swiveling version, "Twist and Sip."

And people won't crash into you, because nothing says safety like this high-quality reflective tape, the same material that's used to make stop signs. You get (4) glossy, self-adhesive red reflective tapes, 12" long x 3/4" wide. We're thinking bike fenders and helmets, dog collars, garage door frames, anything that could benefit from a heightened visibility.

Not just a snowman anymore. This Frost bottle is from Alpha Outpost™, the outdoor gear geeks, and despite its name, its double-wall construction will keep your soup hot as easily as it keeps your margaritas cold. Measures 10” tall x 3” dia in black with the Frost logo and a stainless steel screw cap. Holds 16 oz, and includes a rubber infinity loop for your belt.
