our first big adventure . . .. . in 2 weeks to DC to see the Cherry Blossoms . .. . staying in Arlington VA. and plan to ride around DC . . plus a guided tour with a park ranger one of the days.

my question is this. . .used children's bikes-- est: $50 each. . . . how much do i spend on locks?? I have been researching this and I am questioning spending the same amount or more on the lock then the bike

also . . . would like to get the girls:
- water bottle cages
- handlebar bag for snacks etc.
- rear bike rack disc .. (?) for the bike lock and to bungee that extra sweater/wind breaker they may want

any thoughts on getting this stuff either used or at a very good price????

thanks M
