I have a helmet and a bike lock. Do I need anything else? This is just casual biking to school riding. Also, is it illegal In California to ride your bike while crossing the street.
helmet and a solid lock are all you'll need for casual riding. you may want to take a backpack with you and possibly a water bottle. bikes all legally supposed to follow all the same rules that motorists do. there's no such law saying you cannot ride your bike across the street at a crosswalk
