I have a nice bike. I have a helmet. I have bike directions on Google (sensible ones, I checked) and Bike Pgh instructions on vehicular cycling an'at. I need to buy gloves (I found and handwashed my old ones from college, so pleased with myself, then found that the suedeish surface of the palms are literally disintegrating now gross.) There's a locker room and showers at work should I wish to use them. So, like, what else? So much gear in the shops but so much that I didn't know I didn't know, such as (I see on another thread) that one goes commando in chamois. Assume that I am currently clad in pedestrian clothing and it works all right for March weather, summer probably not so much.
