They will be well worth it to you. If you are careful with your shopping, you should be able to get out for
$100 or less for entry level pieces that will be fine for a long time.
Road shoes and pedals if you're gonna stay on the bike during your rides, MTB shoes walk better if you are riding to the store to shop.
