Bike accessories?

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

So, after three years living here for college and determining that I really do want to spend the rest of my life in this area, I've finally gotten my hands on a bike. Woo!

Trawling the bicycle tag in this community has given me some fantastic advice and things to keep in mind about the actual riding, but I have a simpler problem to handle first --namely, that I have a bicycle, and nothing else.

So, where's an affordable place to get a helmet, lock, and lights? I'm a broke college kid, so I'm not looking to spend too much money (though I've already been told by virtually everyone to spend the cash on a u-lock rather than cable), and I live out between Porter and Harvard, so shops on the Cambridge side of Davis are much more convenient to me.

Thanks in advance for the recommendations!

If you live in Medford, Go to City Hall. They sell new helmets (adults and children sizes) and I'm not sure what other bike gear at really discounted prices, just to keep bikers in our town safer.

That's super awesome, and while I don't live in Medford, I get out that way pretty often --do you know how late they're open? And are they gonna ask for like...proof of residence or anything?
