While I was at it, I also upped the ante on my other gear for better head protection and night riding.

Apple Air Tags
An entire industry has emerged around Apple Air Tags for keeping track of your valuables and locating them when misplaced or stolen. The rising popularity of expensive bicycles and e-Bikes raises the stakes. There are many clever ways to hide your Air Tag from potential thieves. I own the seat-post reflector with hidden compartment listed below.
- Keep track of and find your items alongside friends and devices in the Find My app
- Simple one-tap setup instantly connects AirTag with your iPhone or iPad
- Play a sound on the built-in speaker to help find your things, or just ask Siri for help
- Precision Finding with Ultra Wideband technology leads you right to your nearby AirTag (on select iPhone models)
- Find items further away with the help of hundreds of millions of Apple devices in the Find My network

The value of a quality bicycle helmet cannot be overstated, and the best all-around head protection is provided by a multi-direction impact protection system (MIPS) because you really don’t know which direction you’ll fall.
