you can buy your CO2 cartriges anywhere.. just make sure if you need threaded... you get threaded (most likely will have to be a bike shop for threaded... for non-threaded... i use the paintball ones from walmart!)
patch kits... not sure about target ones... i usually get mine at the lbs... they aren't too expensive... last time i got some.. i switched from the ones with a glue tube in them... to the park "glueless" ones... haven't had to use them yet though
not sure what is happening with your gloves.... are you trying women specific ones? if the men's smalls are too big... try womens... if the women's are too small... you have really small hands!they do make kids gloves... just not sure how good the bike shops are at stocking them!
we are anxiously awaiting pictures!

LOL, I'm picking him up in 3 hours, so I'm not sure how he is yet.
I spent yesterday at Academy(sports store in Southern U.S.) looking at everything trying to determine what I needed, if I was unsure about something, I didn't buy it, so today I'm going to LBS picking up Oscar and looking at what they have. Then I'll be attempting my virgin ride<-- boyfriend is ready to take pictures, lol.
Yes, I was trying men's gloves on, I couldn't find women's sizes, so that may be the issue right there.
I'm heading home(near Houston) this weekend & plan on stopping by an REI to see what stuff they have.
Mind you, I'm trying to be seriously professional about this, but part of me is oh-so tempted to buy a bell that is shaped like a pig & put it on my bike, lol, but I don't want to ruin my street cred just yet

Congrats on the new bike!
To be honest, I was tempted by those pig bells, myself!
Seriousness is over-rated!
