Bike Accessory Range
When it comes to bike accessories there’s nearly more on offer at BikeExchange than bikes themselves. Popular bike accessories include, but are no means limited to:
Bike lights are an incredibly useful and protective bike accessory, along with being a legal requirement if riding on the roads at night. Not only do they help you, the rider, see in dark or compromised riding conditions, most importantly, they’ll help you be seen by other road users. Bike lights are designed for all types of riding. Mountain bike lights for example, will usually offer incredible brightness so as to literally light up a trail at night. Whereas lights for road cyclists are less bright for the safety of other road users.
Bikes are efficient machines, but they need basic servicing to keep them running reliably. Bike tools a wide range of items from basic Hex Keys and pedal spanners, through to work stands and workshop specific tools.

Being larger in size, a floor pump is a breeze to use compared to a hand pump.
