In fact, some of the globe’s most well-known and respected sports competition is the Grand Tour, which includes cycling through Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España.
If you are not willing to settle for anything short of pure perfection, here are the gadgets that will really take you places.
VOLT Infinity – $3,545
The VOLT Infinity is undoubtedly one of the most advanced e-bikes out there.
Its Shimano Alfine 11 speed DI-2 internal hub electronic gearing, along with the Shimano STEPS crank drive, provides the bike a remarkably fluid gear shift at the single touch of a button.
Topping off this fantastic feature with its sleek frame design, and the VOLT Infinity makes one of the most highly respected electric bikes available for purchase.
GPS-305 bike tracker – $90
Well hidden inside the bike’s handlebars is the GPS-306. It might not prevent a thief from putting his hands on your bike and stealing it, but it will provide you with the constant, live whereabouts of your bike in case it is stolen.
Since it is placed inside a head tube, it is completely invisible and therefore cannot be removed.
Lumos – $178
Bike lights are crucial for cycling safety, especially during rainy and foggy days.
If you forgot them at home – fear not, that is what Lumos is for. Its integrated LED lights signal when you brake and turn, making the back of your head essentially a headlight and an indication of your cycling intentions.
The helmet has a Bluetooth connected remote control that is mounted on a handlebar. When cycling in busy areas, communication is key.
