Beautiful wind running through your hair, warm sunshine on your skin, and the lovely smells of the outdoors. That’s all part and parcel of a bike ride. In order to enjoy your ride to the fullest, you don’t just need the right bike, but the right bike accessories too. Safety, increased performance, & comfort are just a few of the ways that the right bike accessories can make your ride that much better.
Helmets are compulsory in Western Australia, and all cyclists must wear an approved helmet while in motion, unless exempted. Approved helmets carry a sticker or label certifying they have passed stringent safety tests. When choosing a helmet, look for labels similar to those below.
A well-functioning bell that is conveniently placed is required for a bicycle to be considered legal for use on all roads and shared paths in WA.
Lights and reflectors on your bike are mandatory if you ride at night or in any weather conditions that reduce visibility. This includes a flashing or steady white light on the front of the bicycle and a flashing or steady red light on the rear of the bicycle that needs to be clearly visible for at least 200 metres.
A red reflector is required on the rear of the bicycle that is visible for at least 50m when light is projected onto it by a vehicle’s headlight on low beam. You need two yellow side reflectors on each wheel and yellow pedal reflectors on both sides of each pedal.
