Topeak EX and DXP Bicycle Bags
Topeak Explorer Bicycle Rack
Seca 400 Headlight
A cheapo Trek combo lock (bike parking at my employer is inside a parking garage, right next to the entrance with security cameras covering the area!).

Since I am an admitted "bicycle light junkie" I use on a regular basis (although not all at the same time) the following bicycle tail lights:

Princeton Tec "Swerve"
Blackburn Mars 3.0 & 4.0
Planet Bike Superflash
Niterider "Cherry Bomb"

I will be getting a Valencia within a few months. I did have some questions though. What accessories do you have for your bike (rack, lights, lock, etc.)? I'm new to the biking community and will start biking to work when I get the bike, but I wanted to know what to get besides the bike. I am going to buy it at a Trek Store, so I know they can give me ideas on what I will need, but I would also like to know what you recommend. Thanks! That's great.

I originally found your blog while looking for reviews on the Valencia. I am thinking about purchasing a Valencia when I move to Dallas in a couple of months. In a previous post, you mentioned looking at few bike shops in the Dallas area. Are there any you would recommend? Thanks for the update!

Feels great, doesn't it!<br /><br />I have only racked 512 miles on mine so far, which is nothing like your 1000, but I bought it at the end of February, and my actual commute to work is only 2.5 kms each way. But as it's summer, I am having an easier time to rack kms up. I'm going out of town to friends by bike (30 kms each way) and camping overnight this weekend. Yeh! Here's to another 1000! Feels great, doesn't it!
