    take a spare inner tune to save fixing punctures by the side of the road. you can fix them when you get home.

    how about lights?

    Got some free energy bars with the bike :wink:
  • got the exact same bike 2 weeks ago, and a bit of a novice myself.
    I've racked up just over 200 miles on it so far, and loving everything about it .....except the sore a*se I get after 20-odd miles in the saddle !
