You don't need special clothing to ride a bike. While clothing designed for athletic activity or cycling specific is nice, people have done without for as long as bikes have existed.

Invest your money into lighting...you can find all the clothing you need for very little money at your local thrift store, Goodwill, Salvation Army or Target/x-mart. I like wool and polyester fabrics because they tend to wick moisture, dry quickly...and in the case of wool, keep you warm even when wet.
