I'll be heading down to pick bike up the first of the week. I was

I mean suggestions besides the usual lighting and safety
suggestions.

THANKS GUYS!!!!! ((and Gals))

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.

Nitto North Road or Albatross bars or their cheaper Wald/Pyramid equivalent on
Amazon.com
