And wearing reflectors and having lights at night.

The number of cyclists in Cambridge I've only spotted because they occluded street lights...

And a helmet.

I have a helmet. For a moment I wondered why the receipt had a charge for a "Giro Transfer" when I'd paid by credit card, until I realised that was the name of the helmet. ;-)

I don't know how much I'll use it. They seem to be good protection for some sorts of accidents, but an additional hazard for others (making your head larger and heavier). I'll see what sort of accident I think is most likely...

Only strictly necessary until you are a competent adult cyclist, at which point, cycling helmets become almost redundant.

Reflectors: check.
Lights: check.
