Sustainable cycling accessories for kids

We all know that cycling is already an eco-friendly lifestyle and is a fantastic way to reduce your carbon footprint, by decreasing air pollution and tackling congestion. But there are other ways that can make cycling more sustainable too, with greener, more sustainable cycling kits.

We take a look at some great sustainable cycling accessories available for kids that will lower your impact on the environment:

Solar-powered bike lights

The new Rydon bike light is the new sustainable bike light that runs on solar-power, even on a cloudy day. And the housing is sustainable too - It uses a thick CNC milled aluminium metal housing that protects the light from impact.

Charging the battery is not necessary as the integrated solar panel automatically charges it for you. The light is permanently fixed on your bicycle with a stainless steel clamp so you can never forget it. You can also charge the light with a USB if required.

Muc-off x Frog Bikes cleaning kit

The Expanding Microcell Sponge is vacuum packed, using fewer packaging materials and taking up less space when shipped, therefore helping to reduce the product’s carbon footprint.
