A *good* lock and fenders (even cheap ones will do. Otherwise riding on wet roads is a mess) -- nm - Guigue Mar 27, 09:14 2

  - what about horns? -- nm - Andie Mar 27, 09:15 2
    - i like this one - bell + compass! -- (link) - Andie Mar 27, 09:17
    - I heard about someone who installed a truck horn on their bike. That's manly enough -- nm - Guigue Mar 27, 09:16
- a pretty basket! nm -- nm - groiny Mar 27, 09:13
Turtle shell! -- (link) - oblique Mar 27, 09:11
