A CYCLING HELMET is required. It is perhaps the most important accessory you can bring on your trip. Even the best and most cautious rider can take a spill. Your head is a very delicate part of your body. Studies show that 80% of all serious bicycle injuries are injuries to the head. A well made, hard shell, lightweight helmet (Giro, Bell, MSR) can greatly reduce the severity of any head injury and may even save your life. So use your head and get a helmet!
A FRONT & REAR LIGHT for your bicycle is required. The battery powered lights are the best; they can double as flashlights in tents. Generator lights drain leg energy.
