Cutting down carbon emissions > Reducing transportation emissions > Walking, biking, and scooters > Purchasing bike supplies
The first step to biking regularly is investing in the necessary supplies.
Purchasing bike supplies locally or secondhand ensures you start your biking journey on the right foot.
Benefits
Affordable
Purchasing bike supplies secondhand and tuning it up yourself greatly reduces the initial cost burden of biking.
Community
Getting to know local sellers has more benefits than just a new relationship – they also may be able to offer you tailored perks, such as free bike tune-ups.
Personal
A local shop owner or worker is more likely to know the terrain of your everyday commute – and in turn, can recommend just the supplies for you.
