Hi All,

I'm new to the forum, but not biking. I had been riding a Trek 930 Mountain Bike for decades and recently upgraded to a used Cannondale Adventure Three. I also scored a Schwinn Child Trailer that I'm converting into a Cargo Trailer for this bike.

The Cannondale Adventure Three has front suspension and a suspension seat post. I'm looking for input on a couple of accessories.

I need to mount a good back rack for some panniers and perhaps a front rack as well. I know there are a lot out there, but the reviews are all over the place. I have a really large foot so I'd prefer a rack that keeps the bags back a bit so I don't hit them with my heel.

I also need a set of fenders. Not sure if I should go with aluminium or plastic. I like the look of the silver plastic ones.

A mirror is alse another high priority. I'd prefer the handlebar mount, but as you can see by my grips, I'm not sure I can do that

Finally, lighting.
Looking for feedback on various front and rear lights. Looking to make myself visible over using it for road lighting.

The bike will be my sole method of transportation. Needs to get me to the store and back and carry garbage and recyclables to the transfer station once a week. Anything else you can suggest, I'd appreciate it.
