Solo bike travel means adventure, freedom, and 'perfect me time'. What could be more thrilling than riding a bike on mountain roads? However, it can also be dangerous if you're a bit careless. That's why it's very important to carry some smart gadgets for safety, communication, and navigation on such trips. These gadgets not only make the journey more comfortable but can also save lives when needed.
Here is a list og gadgets you can have in your saddle bag
Samart helmets
Nowadays, many helmets are available in the market that have Bluetooth connectivity, built-in microphones, rear-view cameras, and navigation displays. With these, you can make hands-free phone calls, listen to music, and even see directions. During accidents, sensors can automatically send SOS messages.
Power bank or portable charger
On long trips, you might face serious trouble if your mobile or GPS device battery runs out. So keep a high-capacity (at least 10,000 mAh or more) waterproof power bank. This allows charging multiple devices simultaneously.
GPS tracker
Mobile networks may not be available in forests or on mountain roads. In such cases, a GPS tracker will help accurately determine your location. You can send your location to family or friends when needed.
Action camera
You can capture every moment of your bike trip with a GoPro or Insta360 camera. These are small, lightweight, and can be easily mounted on helmets or handlebars. Carefully preserve the lifelong memories you're about to create by capturing them on camera.
Smart LED light and headlamps
Mountain roads have less light. So keep bright smart LED lights for your bike and a rechargeable headlamp for yourself. This will make night travel much safer. Don't forget to use adequate flood lights on your bike.
Weatherproof gadget bag
A waterproof backpack or tank bag is essential for keeping all electronic gadgets. This prevents devices from getting damaged in rain or fog.
