      Other safety gears

      Navigation device

      Taillights

      Mountain biking during the evening time lets you find the more out-of-control side of yours. However thrilling it is but denying that it will be hazardous shouldn't be boosted. For the adventurous evenings and nights, carrying tail lights is imperative while heading out for biking expeditions.

      Having high-powered LED lights are the must-have bike safety gear at night.

      First aid kit

      Also, never forget to carry what every pro biker carries, which is a first aid box to manage and treat himself right during accidents or crashes. Thus a first aid kit is highly recommended for bikers, but controlling the speed should also be on your list.
