This is my short list of recommendations for cycling equipment. Over the past two years, I have used these items on my daily commutes and weekend camping trips. Take a gander and let me know if you find anything useful on X (@ethan_thompson)!

Bags

• Top Tube: Mag-Tank (Bolt-On or Velcro)
• Cockpit (snack and grab): Mountain Feedbag

Lights

• Headlight: Lezyne Macro Drive
• Tail Light: Ascher USB Light

Bottle Cages

• Cheap: REI Junction
• Better: Topeak Ninja Master Cage X1

Pumps

• Ultralight: Topeak Roadie
• High-volume: Topeak Mountain

Tools

• Multi-tool: Topeak Mini PT30

Helmet

• Mountain / Gravel: Bontrager Rally WaveCel
  • I own the Solstice, the predecessor to this model. It’s pretty close in design/fit.
