So many of these things are out there, and it's hard to know which ones are decent. I realize "you get what you pay for" but obviously looking for the most bang for the buck.

(1) Carrier for a hitch
(2) Bike pump (floor and hand)
(3) iPhone 5 handlebar mount
(4) Multi tool
(5) Chain lube
(6) Bike lock

I supposed some of these things seem trivial, but when you're not in the know, you're not in the know.

2) floor pump - silca has lasted me 30 years, hand pump - Topeak road morph
4) topeak alien has everything including chain tool
6) Kryptonight ulock
