Get a new helmet. I replace mine every 3 years. Most folks I know do the same.
If you want to be seen get lights (headlight and taillight). Reflectors don't work.
You'll need a floor pump to pump up your tires before each ride.
You'll need a mini pump to the with you.
Get a seat pack to carry a spare tube, multitool, patch kit, tire levers, etc.
You'll need cycling gloves, cycling shoes (road or mtn), cycling shorts, jerseys.
If you'll leave the bike unattended when out riding you'll need a lock, cable or U-lock.

And the list will go on and on and on.......
Hybrid line, no road race, no extreme MTB, either Anyroad, Speeder or if there are suppliers, Quick CX
