The items we recommend are intended for urban use.

Today we're going to look at all the essential accessories to complete your bike so you can fully enjoy your ride through the city.
1. Protect yourself with a helmet
The first accessory not to be neglected, whatever your cycling habits, is the helmet. Indeed, it is very important to wear a helmet to protect yourself in the event of a fall.
When looking to buy a helmet, consider several important criteria.
First, check that the helmet is CE EN 1078 approved (European Standards) and make sure you have the correct head size.
Then, choose a model that suits you based on the following criteria:
- A helmet with/without visor
- A lightweight or sturdy helmet
- A helmet with replaceable interior foams
- A ventilated helmet for riding in high heat
Helmets can be personalized with stickers, caps and even tinted lenses. Finally, choose a helmet that gives you satisfaction.
This means that it should be comfortable to wear and not bother you when riding.
We recommend the following brands:

2. Protect your lungs with a mask
It is often complicated to combine mask with comfort.
However, by finding a mask that allows you to breathe naturally and is comfortable for your skin, your journeys will look completely different.
This is what we offer at R-PUR, a mask that becomes your daily companion to protect what matters most, your health.
You can discover our Nano S anti-pollution mask dedicated to cycling.
3. Don't forget to install an anti-theft device
Your bicycle is a fragile and expensive object.
It is therefore essential to invest in a lock to protect your mount against theft.
There are different types of locks:
- U locks (key padlocks)
- folding locks and long chains.
Each type of lock has its advantages and disadvantages: the U-lock is economical and easy to use, but less secure.
The folding one is very resistant, but bulkier and heavier: as for the chain, it is very solid and can be attached to two fixed points.
Make sure you choose a lock that meets your expectations in terms of security, practicality and reliability.
4. Carry your belongings with a bag
Whether for carrying documents, tools or shopping, panniers are essential for cyclists.
They are available in different sizes and materials and are very easy to install on your bike.
The side panniers are perfect for small items such as keys and wallet while the rear panniers can accommodate up to 25 liters.
Some bags are waterproof and even have reflective strips for better visibility at night.
Additionally, for demanding cyclists, some brands offer ergonomic bags that are designed for maximum comfort.
5. Light your way with good lighting
When riding at night, good lighting is essential to seeing and being seen. The market currently offers high-performance lighting systems with powerful LEDs and batteries capable of providing autonomy of up to 50 hours.
Opt for lights with several lighting modes to adapt the power to the ambient brightness and be sure to choose lights that adapt to your type of bike (mountain bike, city).
Also remember to check the compatibility of batteries and chargers.
