One of the side-effects of the coronavirus lockdown has been an increase in bike sales. Since we can’t go out and do a lot of things with friends, at least we can go for a bike ride at least. So, with that in mind, there are probably a lot of new bike owners out there, which prompted REI to put together this video. It explore all of the essential bike tools that you should have with you on every ride, explaining what they are and what they do, as well as why you need them. If you’re not already carrying a bike toolkit with you when you set out on the road or trail, it’s probably only a matter of time before you’ll need one. Have a look at this clip, then start assembling your tools ASAP.
