I can't believe I left out so much stuff.

To add to what Ellen wrote on her list:

1. Lube;
2. Chain cleaner;
3. Bike repair stand;
4. Bike tools;
5. New tubes, tires and cartridges

And Ellen mentioned the saddle. Some people have to buy dozens of saddles before they find the right one.

6. Handlebar tape to match the bike.

And the saddle and handlebar packs. Some people get all sorts of fancy packs to match the saddle and the tape and the frame color.

7. Front and rear lights that can go on and also blink.
8. New chest of drawers to hold all of the cycling clothing.
9. The cream stuff for the chamois and crotch.

I bet the list is even longer for male cyclists.

Also, once you start getting fit and the miles start accumulating, then stuff wears out real fast, everything from tires to the chain to the shorts.

And it is worth it.
