Lights, if you want to ride at night or in poor weather.

Pump, tool kit, spare inner tubes and/or puncture repair kit.

I like shoes designed for riding, so clipless pedals. *Probably double
sided SPD, or SPD one side and platform the other. *It's a personal
preference decision.

Again with the personal preference, I'd want handle bars that offer
various hand positions. *Drop bars are the ticket. *Fitting the controls
from that bike to drop bars might prove a challenge.


Trekking bars offer tons of hand positions and use strong and
inexpensive mtb components. Using drop bars on utility bikes is a
strange affectation.
