Here are 5 cool bike accessories for a safe and smooth daily ride

Biking is one of the most convenient ways to get around amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Apart from a good helmet and bright tail lights, there are other things you can use to make your daily bike ride safer and easier.

Here are some cool bike accessories featured on Thursday’s “Unang Hirit.”

1. Handlebar safety signal light

Just like a tail light helps prevent you from getting rear-ended, handlebar safety signal lights enable other motorists to see you better on the road.

2. Foldable bike locks

There are foldable bike locks made from a special zinc alloy that are both drill-resistant and easy to carry.

3. Top tube bag

Tire accidents happen all the time. That's why it's important for every biker to carry a patch kit at all times. Luckily, there are lightweight top-tube bags that can help a rider keep an eye on their tools and other essentials at all times.

4. Roll pack

Roll packs are slightly larger bags that you can strap onto a handle bar, so it doesn't obstruct your view. Think of all the stuff you can bring with an 8L capacity. You can even detach and take with you as a sling bag.

5. Rak en Roll Saddle Bag

This type of pack fits snuggly below the side of your seat. Not only does it take weight off your shoulders—it also keeps your stuff super organized during long and tiring bike rides. – Margaret Claire Layug/RC, GMA News
