$50+ helmet
$70+ shoes
$50+ pedals (if you buy a new bike)
$40+ shorts
$30+ jersey
$60+ computer
$12+ seat bag
$30+ pump
extra tube, tire levers, tri-flow, grease, patch kit, multitool, socks, waterbottle cages, CO2 chuck and cartridges, etc. etc.
And if you are a REI member, take a class on bike maintenance. Its free.

Also, what are some good beginner brands I could look into? Obviously Trek is highly recommended...
Ugh barca, Robin Van Persie being sent off was total garbage(you know what game Im talking about), got past your back four with balls into the box multiple times after the sending off. total BS
Trek is ok..rather boring. personal opinion
