Is there some cool accessory for a kid who really enjoys biking? He has a bike computer and I'm getting him a small bag for under his seat. He rides home from school most days and has put 200 miles on his bike since school started in September. He'll slow down for the winter, but in March/April will be able to again.

Any ideas?

We are getting spokey beads for my son's stocking this year: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AO9Q92/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_12?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2P97M9VQDMS1X

My husband remembers them with great fondness from when younger. You put them on the spokes of the tires and they make a clattering noise until you get up to speed.

Thanks. Those look fun. I can't decide if he'd want them. I do think DS2 would though! I'm just not sure about a 12 year old liking them. I do think it would be helpful for people walking to know he is coming.

Cool lights for his bike so if he is caught at sun-up or sun-down, he can see and be seen! White for front, red for back, and these for fun! https://www.rei.com/product/808967/lightweights-for-wheels-power-reflectors.

Thanks. Those are fun! Is does come home in dusk at times, so that would be good.
