i have "finished" my nightrider with discs, but now what? it still feels like it needs something, a cycle computer or bag perhaps? let me know what you think

Unicycle treats

I just treated myself to elbow pads, reflective jacket and new cycling shorts. The cat eye wireless sounds like a good idea.

Garmin edge 500. or any other GPS cycle computer

HID headlamps and some really bright tail lights. In fact get 2 sets for the front and 2 sets for the back, 2 for the helmet and 2 on the uni.

A new tyre, titanium spokes, coloured nipples, really light pedals, bottle holder, tracker.

And get these: http://www.monkeylectric.com/
They looks soo cool. Watch the vid.

I know this may be a daft question but as i'm new to this you must forgive me....Why the break??
Surely the fixed crank works as the breaks?
Thanks, James.

when you'r going down a hill you can use the brake instead of using back pressure to keep from going too fast
