Pimp your ride with these awesome bicycle accessories and make your road-mates supremely jealous

Cycling is fast becoming a popular sport on the Dolphin Coast, with people of all ages and fitness levels joining in the fun.

To take your cycling experience to the next level, perhaps you should invest in these unique and wacky bike accessories:

1. Handelbar mitts

Even here on the coast it can get a little chilly in the mornings and your fingers can feel like they are freezing.

Slip a pair of handlebar mitts onto your bike and you can keep your hands warm and dry.

Handlebar mitts can go for anywhere between R500 and R1000 on Amazon.

OK, this may look like it is aimed at children, but let’s not kid ourselves – no matter how old you are you can enjoy leaving a trail of colourful chalk behind you as you pedal.

These kits go for R200 or more online.
