Athletic headband to protect ears, etc.-- just don't make it too thick, you want still fit helmet on top.
Little clip-on blinkie LED light.- Handy if you wear a knapsack when cycling. I even used it when I walked daily early morning & winter late afternoon on a dark rd. with hardly any streetlights to and from worksite.
Fleecy vest.
Foldable Light water resistant cycling jacket..preferably slim/close to body (for aerodynamic qualities. You don't want billowing jacket...) with arm/back vent.
Foldable light knapsack with erognomic padded shoulder straps - REI has a great little one for under $30.00US. I use it as a purse and to carry small pkgs. when we go on bike tours and get off later on in evening to carry something to walk over to a restaurant/cafe/store. I don't use it during the long, mulit-hr. ride itself, it stays folded inside my pannier since I dislike cycling with much weight on my back on long rides. Beats weight of a real purse in my bike pannier. Or carrying around a pannier or wallet itself into restaurant. Looks like REI has changed their design a little (mine has a top zippered pocket flap that falls over the drawstring top case) for upcoming months: http://www.rei.com/product/778466#
