Steel-O-Chain 5805K Key Chain Lock
Available at Backcountry ($42.99)
“I struggled for years to get my U-lock to fit around whatever post or fixture I could find, thinking a chain lock was only for ‘serious bike people.’ I'm so glad I switched, because it's light enough to toss around my neck but sturdy enough for peace of mind.”
-Ruth Miller, Senior Product Manager
—
Kryptonite Keeper 585 Combo Folding Lock
Available at Incycle ($91.95)
“In Philly - or any city - you can never have too many bike locks.”
-Leo Walsh, Senior Customer Success Manager
–
Austrian Audio Hi-X15 Closed-Back Over-Ear Headphones
Available at Sweetwater ($119)
“I guess I'm a Luddite, but I still like over-ear, wired headphones, and these are the best! Comfortable, really nice sound quality, and not crazy expensive for how nice they are.”
-Caitlin Van Horn, Senior Marketing Manager
–
AirBell Bicycle Bell for Apple Air Tag
Available on Amazon ($15.99)
“I wanted to put an AirTag on my bike, but was worried about it being obvious and getting thrown away. This bell offers a nice, discreet hiding place (and the bell actually works).”
-Ruth Miller, Senior Product Manager
–
Apple Airpods (2nd Generation) Wireless Ear Buds
Available on Amazon ($99)
Available at Apple ($129)
“A necessity for any commute. AirPod Pros don't stay in my ear so I always have a backup pair of the old ones for when I inevitably lose them!”
-Andreas Mazarakis, Sales Associate

The Metro Kick Scooter
Available at LaScoota ($79.99 - originally $120)
“For anyone who just wants to feel like a kid again.”
-Leo Walsh, Senior Customer Success Manager

Loose Fit Washed Duck Sherpa-Lined Mock-Neck Vest
Available at Carhartt ($79.99-$89.99)
“These vests are durable and offer warmth without restricting movement during the daily commute. Great for those who prefer to layer over wearing a bulky jacket.”
-Edwin Rivas Salguero, Customer Success Associate

Owala FreeSip Insulated Water Bottle
Available on Amazon (Various sizes, $22-$37)
“I love water bottles with straws, but they’re impossible to toss in a bag or backpack without leaking. These water bottles have built-in straws with push-button lids for easy sips and leak-free travel.”
-Kristin Musulin, Communications & PR
–
Unisex LED Light Up Shoes
Available on Amazon ($39.98)
“I live in Boston where the evening commute happens in the pitch dark all winter long. Finding fun ways to be visible keeps some of the winter gloom away.”
-Ruth Miller, Senior Product Manager
