"Alright. The next thing we're going to cover are a few accessories that will go on the bicycle, that will also make biking more enjoyable, give you some ideas of how long you've been out on the bike, and keep you safe while you're riding it. The first thing we'll start with is the computer. The computer will go, usually, on the handlebar, some point at the front of the bike that you can read while you're riding. This is an example of one. There's a lot of computers on the market. The best way to choose the right computer for you is figure out what you want, what kind of information you want while you're on the bike. There are some simple ones that will tell you how long you've been riding, how far you've been riding, information like that, all the way up to heart rate and cadence. So, you have to determine what kind of information you want to get while you're out riding. Another accessory would be a bottle cage. Again, many assortments. Easiest way to choose is how fancy you want to get. But it will, again, attach to your frame, and they're going to hold your water bottles so you have liquid while you're riding. Couple other items would be lights. There's a rear light and a front light. Easy to choose. There's some styling involved. You always want the rear light to be red, and you always want the front light to be white. It'll help with visibility, both in the day and at night, and keep you safe while you're riding. The rear light usually attaches somewhere in this area. The front light will attach anywhere on the fork or on the handlebar near the computer. And again, you can pick your lights on the amount of visibility and the brightness of them. So, those are a couple items that go on the bike that make biking more enjoyable."
