Over here in fettle land we’ve been celebrating so-called ‘freedom day’ and those starting make their merry way back to the office by bike. In fact, on the day itself we had a little banarama celebration, handing out bananas to those pedalling into work. You could spot us at Aldgate or Old Street, loading up passing commuters with fruit fuel.

And in the spirit of jumping back into the two-wheeled commute, we thought we’d share our recommendations for best commuting accessories. We often get asked for pannier and rack recommendations so we figured, why not share all our knowledge on commuting accessories with you lovely lot.

Ortlieb Panniers

When it comes to panniers you can’t beat Ortlieb. Waterproof and highly durable, they’re not cheap, but they’ll last you years, if not decades. Coming in a variety of colours you can even go for bright (fettle) yellow if you want to make sure you’re seen.

Top tip: You can often pick up a bargain pair of second hand Ortliebs on eBay. People purchase them for bike packing trips, letting them sit in the cupboard upon their return before flogging them online.
