But if you&#8217;re thinking about taking up bike commuting, there are a few things you&#8217;ll need to make sure you&#8217;re kitted out properly.<\/p>\n<p>All sorts of excellent commuter bikes are available, from upright Dutch models to flat-backed fast commuter bikes. Adding mudguards to your bike is a great help: not only will they keep you and your clothes clean, they will keep your bike much cleaner too.<\/p>\n<p>Accessories such as racks and panniers will help you transport your belongings to work, and you will need to make sure you have some good lights on your bike if you are going to cycle in the dark. There are specific laws about lights and where they should be positioned on your bike, so check them out.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paperstone.co.uk\/workwear\/hi-visibility-clothing\/c-5711\">High visibility clothing<\/a> is also a must after dark.
