...purchase for me and the bike? I know some basics. Kick stand, helmet, water bottle, lights, bike lock; but what I need to know is other items you want to suggest for me. And best choices for the money. And money I should spend on each item taking safety and security into consideration. I ride the canal and bike paths along the roads for exercise and fun. The best helmet and lighting are my biggest concern since I sometimes ride after dusk. And the best place to make my purchases too please.
