I’m about to start commuting to work about 25Kms one way, so having must have gears are very important such as the following:

1. fenders
2. Backpack or panniers
3. Computer such as Garmin (if only you wish to track your cycling stats at the same time
4. Speed and Cadence sensor paired to #3.
5. Phone holder for occasional google maps
6. High visibility Jackets/clothing
7. Front and Rear lights
8. Tools
9. Optional: Strava then use a beacon to send to your loves ones so that they can track your commutes
