Bicycle helmet
Any helmet meets ANSI safety standards. Visor is not needed due to the add on brim that I add. Helmets only last about 3 years due to excessive wear
New Bicycle Chain (9 speed)
These are a consumable when you ride as much as I do.

Moleskine Classic Notebook, Hard Cover, Large (5" x 8.25"), Ruled, green needed to keep my journals going.
