Editor Picks for Fall Bike Commuting Gear

Just because temps are starting to drop doesn’t mean you have to stable your trusty steed. Biking to work is the best thing we can do for our mental and physical health and for the environment. So gear up and keep on trucking with these products from Tern Bicycles, BioLogic, and Ibex  — you and your bike will be more than ready for whatever Autumn throws your way.

Tern Eclipse S18tern_eclipse

This fully equipped folding bike was designed to survive a zombie apocalypse. It contains an integrated lighting system which uses a powerful 41 lux and 150 lumens front light powered by the BioLogic Joule 3 dynamo hub, among the best of its kind on the market. This is an especially great feature to have as the days begin to get darker faster – the setting sun can’t ruin your ride! It also comes with award-winning BioLogic PostPump 2.0, stealthily concealing a high-capacity floor pump in its seat post. Bigger tires mean better traction, so you’ll stay safe on those icy morning roads. Plus, the Tern Eclipse folds for an easy carry in your arms,  on the train or metro, or in the back of your car or taxi if the weather really gets too harsh! www.ternbicyles.com (MSRP $2100)

BioLogic Bike Mount WeatherCase

The WeatherCase fits like a glove on your handlebars with the help of the strong AnchorPoint mount, and protects your phone from rain, snow, sweat, and grime. Made from sonically-welded TPU with rain-proof zippers, nothing can get through these walls. biologic_bikemountEasy access is key – the touchscreen, front and rear cameras, and side volume/power buttons are all handy, and a flexible top opens easily to slip the phone in and out of the case. Double zippers allow access to headphones/charge port while the phone is in the case and CushionFit padding keeps phones nice and snug. You can even make calls through the WeatherCase without losing a bit of sound quality – but don’t forget to keep your eyes on the road! www.thinkbiologic.com (MSRP $ 34.95, available for iPhone, Galaxy and XL smartphones)

Your head’s pretty important, so keep it warm with the Muni Wool Cap.
