I would recommend two or three tire levers in that tool kit. Some tires come right off and go right on, some need persuasion. if you ride at night I would recommend say, a Light and motion Urban 250 or 500, and a good taillight ( i use a Serfas and another model, i forget) and blinkies for augmentation in tough traffic and back-up if you forgot to charge your batteries. Not essential unless you want to ride at night and not die.

if you plan to carry much you might want a rack, and even panniers or a trunk. Not essential.

A Townie 7D is what I would call a "basket bike"--the type of bike that looks very correct and complete with a sturdy wire basket up front. Not sure if it even has rack mounts in the back. (from the photo it looks like it might have rack mounts---but a basket or a flat rack with a wicker picnic basket might be more appropriate.)

is this you, basically? (https://www.rei.com/product/851140/e...e-7d-bike-2017)
