I am 12 and live 3 miles from my school. Due to gas and exercise, I want to bike to school and to other places. On one street I go on the bike lane. What accessories should I get? (ex. water bottle holder, mirrors on helmet, etc.) Thanks for your help!
its more like 2.5 miles...
Answer
3 miles on bike is kind of far but its ok.
You definitely need a helmet. and be sure it fits, suits you well and that you ALWAYS wear it. I know you might here that a lot but lots of people have died because they got in a bike accident and weren't wearing their helmet.
Some people have little "bike fanny packs" where a little seat fanny pack is on the back of your seat but if you'll have a bag, then it won't be needed.
You should have a cargo carrying thing in the back( idk what its called). You attach it to the top of you back wheel and with some bungee ropes you can put your bag there, or a basket in the front but that's a little girly :D
You do need a water bottle holder because you definitely will get thirsty.
Mirrors aren't necessary because honestly, you can just turn but you can never be to safe.
BTW
Be prepared for biking almost every single day because 3 miles back and forth every day is a lot.
WEAR DEODORANT OR ANTIPERSPIRANT! because you might be late someday and be really fast but either your late or not, you need it. Antiperspirant is better because all deodorant has aluminum in it and can give you cancer and deodorant only takes the stink away, antiperspirant takes the stink and liquid away.
Hope this helped!

When riding a bike are you supposed to go with traffic or against it?

What I mean by this is when I ride my bike can I go on the side of the road where I can see traffic coming or do I have to be riding the same way that traffic is riding? Riding the same way traffic is riding would mean my back would be to the cars and that makes me nervous.
I live in Michigan, by the way. If that makes any difference.
Ugh, this sucks. I don't want freaking unknown people in cars behind my back. Not all drivers pay attention and are safe. I'd feel much safer seeing what is coming. At least riding against traffic I would know that when I see them, they probably can see me too.
I honestly don't understand how it's safer to have cars behind you when you're riding a bike.
Answer
A bike is a vehicle so ride with traffic. Wear a helmet and use a mirror to see behind you.

Edit:
You don't want to ride around a blind curve at 15 mph with a car coming the other way at 40 mph. The closing speed will be 55 mph. It you rode with traffic the closing speed will be 25. The chances of a driver seeing you is greatly increased.
