Mobile, safe & comfortable – Smart commuting by bike
Commuting by bike or e-bike means freedom, movement, and sustainable mobility - but also challenges like weather, car traffic, and safety. With the right equipment, every commute becomes more relaxed and efficient: Whether you're just starting or optimizing your gear - here you can find our highlights for the season that will take your commuting experience to the next level.
Which bike suits me?
Not every bike is automatically a good commuting bike. What matters is how you commute: Distance, pace, weather, and luggage make the difference. A light city bike with mudguards and lighting by Vortrieb is ideal for short distances in the city. Need more power for longer distances or hilly terrain? Then a commuter e-bike with a luggage rack and puncture-proof tires offers just the right comfort. Those who are sportively inclined will find the perfect balance of speed and utility in an urban bike or a touring bike.
The frame shape is also important: Bikes with diamond frames with a high top tube and step-through offer different advantages depending on riding style and preferences. Some brands - like Bombtrack or Specialized - already offer models specifically designed for bike commuting with smart details for city traffic.
Safe through the city & traffic
Those who commute by bike to work know the challenges in urban everyday life: Car traffic, poor visibility, and the risks of theft. It's all the more important to rely on a thought-out safety setup - so you arrive safely in any weather and at any time of day.
For safety while riding, we recommend certified urban helmets with LED rear lights, or MIPS technology – for maximum visibility and optimal head protection in city traffic.
Protection against theft is crucial when cycling in the city. A high-quality bike lock - ideally a chain, U-lock, or folding lock - offers effective protection. Smart security solutions with GPS tracking or alarm systems provide an extra sense of security.
All set: Urban bike bags & backpacks
Commuting by bike to work, you need a smart luggage solution. Whether it's a laptop, change of clothes, or groceries: bike bags and backpacks for commuters ensure everything is transported safely and comfortably – in all weathers and on any distance.
Especially practical are handlebar bags or side pannier bags from brands like Ortlieb, Vaude or Aevor. They're waterproof, robust, and easy to attach and detach. For those who prefer to ride without a luggage rack, bike-compatible backpacks with a chest strap and reflective elements are an option – comfortable on the back and safe in city traffic.
Smartly equipped – Technology & accessories
The right accessories complete your commuter bike. Whether it's puncture-proof tires, grippy pedals, sturdy luggage racks, or practical smartphone mounts – with thoughtful technology, you ride more efficiently, safely, and comfortably through daily life. Even for transport in a car, bike racks offer flexible solutions for on the go.
