    To be honest, if you are just starting out you'll get away with just cycle gloves and a helmet plus your normal clothes. Everything else you can pick up if you need/want it.

    After those I'd look at cycle shorts (lycra to wear under your normal shorts).

    If you keep catching the crotch of your normal shorts on your saddle then you want to think about some proper mountain bike baggy shorts though (the crotch is higher on them) but this only comes into play when you start doing steeper stuff (99% of the time anyway!).

    It depends on what kind of riding you plan on doing too - downhillers wear baggier clothing so armour fits underneath for example.

    Aldi are known to do some good deals, other than that just pick up some end of year offers from your local bike shop or internet dealer.
