Are you interested in improving
your bike for commuting purposes?
We've created this section to feature commuting accessories for
greater awareness of useful products. BikeAthens supports local
stores, and most items can be ordered through them. If you see a
product you like, contact your local bike
store and see if they can order it for you.
The following sites were recommended by members
of BikeAthens.
Contact us if you have an item you'd wish to see included here.
Hub-generator lighting systems: Replace
your front tire hub with a special
hub that generates electricity that lights a front headlight and
back taillight simply by pedaling. Because the generator is part
of the hub and not in direct contact with the tire, there is not
a build-up of grime that has hampered other lighting systems. Invest
in this lighting system and say goodbye to batteries forever!
