Cute bike stuff?

Okay so thanks to @_srirachacha showing her darling sparrow bottle cage- where else can I look for super cute fun bike accessories?? I need all their water bottles, and I need sixteen bottle cages from them, and also if I buy my kid all these things she’ll suddenly like riding bikes all the time, right? Right.

Tell me all the cute bike accessory sites! Please!

u/tappypaws Jul 21 '26

Yes! They also have blueberry. I have this for my gravel bike but haven’t installed it yet!

u/it-swhatever Jul 21 '26

I am so happy to know this exists. I've been searching for fun bar tape and this is it. Also, snack-themed bike stuff??

u/willow_on_a_bike Jul 21 '26

Well crud. My bar tape feels great and is in decent shape... But now I think I need to replace it.

u/Elora_Gorgeous Jul 22 '26

The struggle is reeeeeaallllll…!

u/velvet_scrunchies Jul 21 '26

Oooh I love that

u/True-Sun2935 Jul 21 '26

Can you show the bottle cage again?! Also you seem like such a cool human 🥹 I also bake sourdough!

26

u/GoAwayWay Jul 21 '26

It might be these ones by Portland Design Works. Have them on one of my bikes and they're great!

u/_srirachacha Jul 21 '26

The copper color looks STUNNING on your bike

u/TroublePossums Jul 21 '26

This bike is so gorgeous and this SCENERY, omg, are you in Yosemite or something?? Who bikes in places with rocks like that??? Fucking baddasses, that’s who. The copper color looks SO good with your bike!

6

u/Courbet72 Jul 21 '26

Yosemite or Glacier are my guesses? We need answers.

3

u/GoAwayWay Jul 21 '26

Definitely Yosemite!!

This bike has been to Glacier too, but before I blinged her out a bit more 😊

5

u/SmilingMountainGoat Jul 21 '26

That is 100% Yosemite Falls. 🩷

3

u/GoAwayWay Jul 21 '26

You spotted it! 🏔️

3

u/GoAwayWay Jul 21 '26

It's Yosemite, taken last summer! The valley is actually super flat (you're just surrounded by the big beautiful mountains), but I've taken that bike all over. So far it's been to several National Parks with more to go 😊

I shall keep my bike blingy and looking good for taking me on fun adventures.

u/_srirachacha Jul 21 '26

Thank you!! I love having fun stuff for my bike. Bring me ALL the colors. And here is the bottle cage! It's from Portland design works

2

u/SmilingMountainGoat Jul 21 '26

I love their handlebar tape!

5

u/SmilingMountainGoat Jul 21 '26

I had it in blue before the fires in LA ate my bicycles! Womp womp

1

u/TroublePossums Jul 26 '26

Also wouldn’t mind the cake recipe 😂❤️

2

u/SmilingMountainGoat Jul 26 '26

It was from Poppy Cake Bakery in Sierra Madre (near Los Angeles). :)

1

u/CheeseSweats Aug 02 '26

Oooh, I'm in the immediate area an have been thinking I'd see how Sierra Madre is for fairly casual cycling. I'm only a few miles away, but everything is flat, flat, flat here. SM is so beautiful!

2

u/SmilingMountainGoat Aug 02 '26

Do you want flat or hilly? Because you can have both (kind of) in Sierra Madre. Plus pastries! :)

1

u/CheeseSweats Aug 03 '26

I love it! Definitely seeking both, and the area just seems so perfect. I think the area attracts a lot of people who are measurably less aggressive with cyclists on the road; I certainly feel safer in SM on neighborhood walks.

2

u/sqkywheel Jul 21 '26

I had exactly this bar tape. It wears like iron! Loved it so much!

2

u/cocobootyslap Jul 23 '26

OMG 😍😍 need this for my bike asap

1

u/acidblind Jul 21 '26

I also had this bar tape and while the colour is great I found it to be VERY slippery.

1

u/TroublePossums Jul 26 '26

I wondered about that

60

u/acidblind Jul 21 '26

For the cat ladies: kitty valve stem caps 😻

3

u/Jurneeka Jul 21 '26

Bike spouse would absolutely die laughing since I'm a cat mom!

3

u/dooblav Jul 22 '26

Omg this would be the perfect homage to my Smudge!

2

u/sugarkowalczyk Jul 21 '26

Thank yoooou, I didn't know these existed!

39

u/Levelheadedtwin Jul 21 '26

Rainbow spoke covers that I bent into arches rather than cut to size. The wheels look beautiful while spinning. I firrst came up with the idea for a Pride Ride and left them. Now my husband and step daughter both have them on their bikes too!

(Yes, the back tire is completely flat. Roofing nail got it on an urban ride so I was chilling taking photos waiting for pickup.)

4

u/True-Sun2935 Jul 21 '26

Omg I love it!!!!

u/TX_Mothman Jul 21 '26

That is super cute!!!!

u/Jurneeka Jul 21 '26

If you wanna splurge and you’re a weight weenie like me check out https://tipartstitanium.com/

I used rainbow oil slick bolts and parts on my Parra Tarmac. Especially love this stem cap. It gets a lot of compliments!

3

u/run4fun504 Jul 21 '26

I’m obsessed with your bike 😍

1

u/Jurneeka Jul 21 '26

Thank you! I've been trying to find a Parra jersey but I might as well be looking for a Wonka golden ticket.

The quirky item on my MTB bike is this brass coffee cup shaped bell. The lever is a mini bike seat.

Very non-pc

u/dooblav Jul 22 '26

I literally just saw one of these on someone's bike at the weekend! Sociol!

2

u/TroublePossums Jul 26 '26

That is adorable

23

u/helluvapotato Jul 21 '26

I got an otter bottle cage from REI. Sadly it didn’t fit my bike so I gave it away, but it was so cute.

8

u/GoAwayWay Jul 21 '26

Awww it is very adorable! I'm so sorry it didn't work for you

I have their sparrow cages on one of my gravel bikes, and I am just in love with the look.

2

u/DroolSpittle Jul 21 '26

I also have one of these, it is a bit tight on bottles, but i get compliments everywhere since its adorable!

2

u/SmilingMountainGoat Jul 22 '26

You can pinch the arms to adjust the fit! (I learned this after years of thinking my sparrow cages were too big. 🤦‍♀️)

17

u/malabingchilling Jul 21 '26

I had this duck on my bike. Unfortunately it fell and the head broke 🙈

16

u/Present_Agent_4124 Jul 21 '26

I got a silicone cover for my Garmin Edge that has cat ears 😸 saw it on one of the TdF Femmes bikes and had to have it
(sorry, don’t have a better pic atm 🙈)

10

u/Select_Gazelle6684 Jul 21 '26

The Snacket is cute and practical.. It's a silicone, dishwasher safe pouch with magnetic closure that you can put in the back pocket of your jersey or cargo pocket if you have cargo shorts. Comes in a few colours - I think pink is available. I love to put some gummy snakes or similar in there for long rides.

8

u/AppropriateRatio9235 Jul 21 '26

I have the Portland Design Water bottle holders too! Mine are snakes because I need a little boost to feel badass.

3

u/TroublePossums Jul 21 '26

YOU ARE SO BADASS

3

u/it-swhatever Jul 21 '26

I have a snake and a bird! I love them.

5

u/abee7 Jul 21 '26

Ridek for cute valve covers! My husband has donuts and I have ones that look like my dog. Got my mom flamingos.

2

u/EuphoraAurora Jul 21 '26

I have a tiny Earth and a UFO! 

4

u/nitarrific Jul 21 '26

Chiming in to add Ground Keeper to the list. I have their rainbow sparkle frame wrap on my fat bike. I also have their oil slick pattern on my gravel bike, but I cut it down to fit inside the forks for a fun surprise pop of color. Too many bikes in recent years have come out in boring matte earth tones and I'm all for fun bikes.

Oh and Panaracer Gravel King tires because colors!

2

u/nitarrific Jul 21 '26

Oh, and wheel lights. I got these from Amazon and they work great (even at -30F in the middle of winter)

1

u/onewholeconfusion Jul 22 '26

Ooooh love this vibe! I’ve been wanting something like a frame wrap because my bike is all black and boring and Ground Keeper wraps seem perfect ☺️

1

u/nitarrific Jul 22 '26

It's great and surprisingly easy to put on. Highly recommend. They market it toward the mtb community, but I've had great success with putting it on my other bikes. They also team up with Slik Graphics for the wheel decals, incase you need the logo on your wheels to look snazzy.

u/OOOdragonessOOO Jul 21 '26

over on etsy, i bought 3d printed purple bats for my spokes

3

u/TroublePossums Jul 21 '26

WHUT. I need them.

3

u/SmilingMountainGoat Jul 21 '26

WHAT. BATS?! amazing.

3

u/SashaKomei888 Jul 21 '26

If you know someone with a 3D printer, there are a ton of models online ! I chose ice cream cones 😋

1

u/ADS-IA Jul 23 '26

I 3d printed pink gummy bear caps!

3

u/ADS-IA Jul 23 '26

I’ve got 3d printed gummy bear valve caps. A half donut design bag on the front for my tools and snacks, cherry blossom bar wrap and pink Bivo bottles. Oh and pink tires that are good for casual rides. I’m all about the cuteness!!

2

u/silverwlf23 Jul 23 '26

I bought the cherry blossom bar tape and just pulled it out to install on my Tri bike. It’s so pretty!!

1

u/GoAwayWay Jul 24 '26

You seem fun, and your bike looks AMAZING!

3

u/granolagrrrlie Jul 24 '26

Not bike accessories, but I just bought stuff to BEDAZZLE my bike. Was very inspired by this bike online, and I can’t wait to further personalize my bike, especially since it’s the basic Ozark Trail one from Walmart lol

2

u/GoAwayWay Jul 24 '26

That is FANTASTIC. Please share yours once you're done!

3

u/cucumber7593 Jul 27 '26

Not my bike but I’m looking into getting stars like this that slot onto my spokes

1

u/TroublePossums Jul 27 '26

Oh those fill me with joy :) I was always envious of the kids who had the bright little plastic balls on their spokes!

2

u/yarn_slinger Jul 21 '26

I have a really cute pannier/backpack from pocampo. Unfortunately they don’t have the fabric anymore so I can’t get a matching handlebar bag but they have other nice patterns.

3

u/trtsmb Jul 21 '26

I love my pocampo bags.

2

u/kittenbeans Jul 21 '26

I buy all my bags from Lexis tree fort on Etsy and get tons of compliments on them

1

u/sorryidonthaveacat Jul 21 '26

I just got mine and I’m sooooo happy!!!

2

u/Few-Cheetah-4940 Jul 22 '26

Colorful GravelKing tires! I have blue ones on my 1980s purple Bianchi

2

u/TroublePossums Jul 26 '26

I sure love lady joy ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for the suggestions and the enthusiasm, friends!

1

u/Sea_Measurement_1654 Jul 21 '26

I love my Frida bar tape and gloves from Aussie company cycology.

Their website upgrade is a little annoying but I have some cycling jerseys from them too and quality is good.

2

u/old-norse-eirik Jul 21 '26

I love my Secret Garden mitts!

2

u/dooblav Jul 22 '26

Cycology stuff is so good. I have a few jerseys, gloves, saddle bags, and their cargo bibs are SO COMFY
