Just ride the bike and figure it out as you go. If you ride at night, get lights. A high-visibility jacket or vest is a good idea.

As you have questions, search this forum for answers, and post a question if you need more specific help. As far as I can see, beginners are truly welcomed here.

This group is great for learning about gear and clothing, but don't make the mistake of thinking you need everything you read about. You don't. Instead, use the wealth of information here to target those items which will meet your specific needs.

Most important, have fun.
