As warmer weather approaches, the call of outdoor escapes becomes irresistible. What better way to get a change of scenery than with a bike ride and explore the world around us a little more every day?
Of course, cycling is fun , but you shouldn't neglect comfort and safety if you want to fully enjoy your experience. Here are some tips for a stress-free bike ride.
The essential accessory: the helmet
When cycling, the most important thing is safety. Have you heard of Cosmo Connected ? A French brand whose mission is to keep everyone on the move safe , whether they're a bike or scooter user, with helmets that combine innovative features with a stylish design .
For this guide, we have chosen the “ Cosmo fusion ” connected helmet model: an urban helmet with a neat design , equipped with a smart rear light with automatic brake light and indicator , as well as real-time journey sharing functionality .
Essential equipment
To ensure your safety during your walks, it is essential not to neglect certain equipment. The yellow vest , for example, is a valuable ally to improve your visibility , especially when night falls or in high traffic areas.
Also make sure you have quality lights on your bike. Clear and powerful front and rear lights are essential. With this in mind, Cosmo Connected offers the “ Cosmo ride ”, a rear light concentrated in technology that allows you to be even more visible: 4 light modes , an accelerometer , a fall detection system and real-time journey sharing .
Finally, don't forget to bring a small repair kit in case of a puncture. Nothing is more frustrating than getting stuck in the middle of a ride with a flat tire.
How to dress?
There's nothing like a pair of lightweight , comfortable pants to accompany your cycling adventures. At LePantalon, you'll find the Technical Chino , specially designed for everyday adventurers.

For a perfect outfit on the bike, keep in mind the three key words: visibility , comfort and practicality , always with style.
