The best tech accessories for bicyclists and motorcyclists

Bicycle

Having the right gear can make all the difference in getting a good workout on a bike. Here are the best tech accessories for cyclists.

Cycling isn't all about health, though. Tracking metrics such as speed and distance and keeping track of the bike's location are all crucial factors.

Some great accessories may be devices you already have, such as an iPhone or Apple Watch. For example, the first step to enhancing a bicycle is a good iPhone mount for using Apple Maps or a fitness tracker.

Quad Lock Bike Mount Kit

This kit is available directly from Apple. Using a dual-stage locking mechanism, it attaches to the bike handlebars or stem (tube size 25 to 40mm). This lock is designed for extra security so the iPhone won't slip off.

It includes a "poncho" resistant to rain, dust, and mud, and the case is compatible with wireless charging, but MagSafe isn't mentioned. In addition, the package comes with UV-resistant O-rings and zip ties for mounting.

Quad Lock Bike Mount Kit is available for $69.95 and supports the iPhone 13 product line. Other versions support older devices.

AirTag Secure Holder

This secure AirTag holder from Belkin features a flexible, braided wire cable that can't be cut easily. In addition, it secures the AirTag using an Allen key locking mechanism.

The best part about this device is that it can be used with other items, such as luggage. The holder grips the edges of the AirTag while leaving the engraving and design viewable.

LIVALL Bling Helmet BH60SE Neo

This helmet is meant for biking on the road, but the company offers one for mountain biking. LED lights on the back ensure visibility in low light and function as turn signals. Built-in speakers facilitate music, one-click voice commands, phone calls, and an anti-loss alarm.

Other features include fall detection, "press for SOS," voice navigation, PTT walkie-talkie, and 24 vents for optimal airflow.

The helmet uses a Bluetooth button that mounts on the handlebars. This top-of-the-line product is available for $139.

LINKA Smart Bike Lock

LINKA's smart lock provides keyless access using an app or entering an access code that doesn't rely on a phone. Bluetooth 4.2 support allows the companion app to unlock it in under five seconds.

The lock has tamper alerts with built-in sensors to detect unwanted bike movement. In addition, it uses a 110 dB alarm to draw attention to any bike thief.

The company says the lock is as strong as a 9mm hardened steel shackle and withstands extreme weather conditions. It's available for $139.

Strava

Strava is the best app to track hikes, walks, bike rides, and other outdoor activities. It records runs, maps cycling routes, and can analyze your training with stats.

Monthly challenges and leaderboards give users a fun way to compete with friends and strangers. An optional subscription unlocks customizable training and workout plans, clubs, and even live feedback from experts.

Strava integrates with Apple Health and is free with in-app purchases.
