may is national bike month! yay! stop using the weather as an excuse to drive everywhere and actually enjoy your ride with the perfect accessories for you and your bike.


knog kabana bike lock
$45 - various colors

especially useful in the city as a secondary lock for that other wheel. i'm not a big fan of carrying 2 bulky u-locks around and having to take my wheel on and off when i'm just running quick errands, so having a secondary lock is key to making your trip to the store smooth and efficient. i love the knog kabana lock because it is easy to carry and wrap around my seat post, a good deterrent for quick-release thievery and of course, super cute.


portland design works bar-ista
$20 - black

i've tried a million ways to carry my precious caffeinated beverages on my bike and every time i arrive at my destination covered in spilled milk and tears. this might just be the solution, my friends.


eddie bauer travix skort
$59.95 - various colors

it's always a struggle to figure out how to make skirts work on a bike. when the weather gets warmer the last thing i want to do is to have to wear leggings under one. rather than flashing every whistling dude on the street, this skort gives your lady parts the privacy they need and the flexibility to pedal without the worry. it's also moisture-wicking and perfect for days with light rain.


diy summer scarf

speaking of having your goodies oggled, when the layers are no longer required, the harder to fend off not-so-cute dudes hollering from their trucks. i'm super modest and like layers anyways, so i've fallen in love with making my own scarfs that are lightweight and easy to throw on so the entire world doesn't have the chance to look down my shirt. check our this tutorial from p.s. i made this and also from lil blue boo. so easy! you don't have to spend a dime, just find a shirt you don't wear anymore or steal your boyfriend's most comfortable shirt and tell him you cut it up for his sake.


bontrager convert helmet
$49.99 - white and black

i hate having to figure out what to do with my hair when about to get on my bike since i refuse to ride without a helmet. since the hairmet is only a mythical creature, i love my bontrager helmet. it sort of makes me feel like i'm from tron with it's unique streamlined design, but there is a removable tab in the back for my ponytail. best. invention. ever. let your mane flow free, ladies.
