    Cycling is one of the only modes of transportation that relies entirely on renewable energy — yours! If you gravitate toward bike riding , whether for commuting or for an adrenaline-boosting workout, you probably also care a lot about the environment and prefer gear that aligns with your values. In other words, virgin plastic , mass-produced products are not going to fly. Eco-friendly bike accessories would be more your speed, and there are plenty to choose from: solar-powered safety lights, sustainable storage bags, and recycled helmets are just the beginning.

    Ready to make more responsible choices on the road ? These eight low-impact eco bike accessories go perfectly with your low-impact workout — and we have to admit they're all pretty cute, to boot.

    Plastic is the material of choice for most highly effective bicycle helmets out there, but the Rudy Project Rebel Helmet lets you choose safety and sustainability simultaneously thanks to its recycled polycarbonate construction. Plus, the design allows this helmet to use less polystyrene than most other helmets. The straps and padding are made of recycled materials, too, but it's the carbon fiber panels that make this helmet the hefty protector you're looking for.
