I got a new job. Four miles from home home and I'm thinking about cycling to work as much as I can. I start next month and need to shop for accessories to make the commute comfortable and safe. So far I am looking at getting some 200+ lumen lights because I'm working until 18:00 and 20:00. The earliest sunset in December is 17:50 and about 2 miles of the route has no street lighting. Coldest weather is a high of 7.5°C/45.5°F and a low of 2.8°C/37°F. The most frost we get is 5.5 days. The most rainfall is 56.1mm and it can rain as much as 10.8 days per month. The bus is cheap and takes a similar amount of time so I can always get that instead.
Any UK bros know if the cycle scheme is worth it for bikes/accessories? I usually buy things used but I was considering picking up a Pashley touring bike or something for that saving if it is appropriate for this route.
