Re: New and Getting Overwhelmed
These three have covered it all.
I'd like to mention if you forget something or don't get something immediately it's not a big deal. When I first got my bike I only rode it around the neighborhood or local park. I didn't have all the stuff, just a helmet and one water bottle. As I wanted to venture further out I added the other stuff.
The biggest thing is to enjoy yourself. Welcome to the wonderful world of cycling!
