CATEGORIESKeeping cars off the road means maintaining a sustainable cycling approach. Punctuate (not puncture) the way to and from with these three spin-worthy commuting products.
Active Junky got pumped on the outsized sound of Buckshot when it first launched. Now, Pro straps in for greater utility as a workable bike light and mobile recharging oasis. Beautiful Bluetooth connectivity ranges to about 30ft off the bike while the microphone-speakerphone combo is ready to roll. The price is a steal as the handlebar mount allows grab-and-go theft prevention. Ride one and give one to multiply the IPX5 water-resistant love in any lane that takes you there; reliable recharging means reloading Buckshot is fast and easy.
Best For: Trail and road routes in tandem with a rear flasher
The soaked-to-the-skin origins of Portland-based Showers Pass give it a head start off the line. With the Torch, bad weather and dicey cab dodging are no match. These socks proved nearly indestructible with six fibers joining together in a no-sag design. In-motion visibility turns a cushioned, longwearing sock into a high cadence warning to approaching vehicles. Go with the crew length to wear them beyond the ride.
Best For: Daily commuting, trail rides with extended road access
Few jerseys flow from pavement to Pinot as well as Rudy. Two Vancouver-born colorways bring unique fabric combinations to a style that’s borderline sophisticated. The Grey Jersey is well vented and crafted from a sweat-fighting formula (79% polyester, 21% Merino wool blend) for tough rides or particularly sunny commutes. Order one size up if you’re taller or stockier than most. A convertible collar means ventilation options while a sunglasses dock prevents adrenaline-induced fogging.
Best For: Aggressive riding followed by extended socializing
