Just purchased a used bike: what accessories should I get?

Hi all!

New to the biking world. Just picked up this 2019 Trek checkpoint AL off of marketplace. I will use it for general cruising and fitness with the longer rides. I’m wondering from more experienced bikers what accessories they would recommend getting for this bike? I don’t plan on getting any clip in shoes at this point as a side note.

I already bought a quad lock phone holder that I plan to use Strava with for mileage tracking etc. I also already have a helmet and a small vibrelli bike pump.

What other accessories that go on the bike or for maintenace would you recommend?

Is this overpriced? 2025 fx3 hybrid

20” Aluminum Frame (L)

Carbon Fork

700x38c Wheels

1x10 Drivetrain

Hydraulic Brakes

Like New less

They have it listed for 750? I don’t know much about bikes, is this a fair deal or overpriced?

Novice looking to get into biking recreationally budget ~$200-500

Hi everyone! Looking to buy a used (probably) bike here but know little nothing about bikes. I like to run for exercise but wouldn’t mind getting into biking for exercise as well. I picture doing all paved/road paths not really on dirt or anything. I don’t necessarily want to spend a bunch of money, ideally just test the waters of biking to see if I actually would enjoy it before I decide to invest some substantial money on a good bike.

So for this first bike I think I want to spend around 200-400 dollars, 500 if you guys feel I can get a better value or any other reason. I’m thinking of looking for used bikes either on marketplace or any other place you guys might recommend! If it matters I’m about 6 feet tall 190 lbs.

So with all that said, do you guys have any suggestions for me as far as bike type, good vs bad brands, things to look for or avoid? Getting it fitted?Other things you guys feel like I would benefit in knowing!

Thank you so much for any help! I feel like I’ll really enjoy getting into biking especially those long paved trails/roads so I’m excited about that!
