Beginners Road Bike - what accessories?

[PaulR81]

Hi, looking for some guidance.

Via (another) C2W scheme, I've ordered one of these, a Pinnacle Dolomite 3.

...which I should pick up on Thursday.

Now, through the C2W scheme credit can be added for basically anything from the bike shop.

So, what bits and pieces would you reccomend as essential to a beginner? Thinking tools / spares / clothing / etc?

Many thanks in advance.

People of PH, many many thanks. Some great stuff there. Should be picking it up tomorrow and will write myself a shopping list for accessories from this thread.
