its weird but I buy stuff periodically for the bike but it takes a while for me to sit down and actually install it... but I bought a set of planet bike panniers with trunk bag and a seatpost rack (it has bars / guards to keep the panniers out of the spokes... I have gone on a couple of rides with it and everything seems to be working well)... also got a "cree 1500+ lumens" light off of amazon (based on recommendations in a light thread here) seems to work pretty well. I also have a light that puts out a yellow light for under the bike to help be seen, high vis vest...
