Recommend please - helmet, lights and electric pump?

[Ffffaster]

Got my first bike in 20 years. A Dahon Mu Uno single speed for riding in London.

Not the safest place to ride, so I would like to get some good kit.

I am not sure what I should be spending and would be grateful for some advice.

Sorry, bit of a basic thread for the experts here!

If you’re in London, chances are the roads are reasonably well lit so lights “to be seen“ rather than “with to see” will suffice. Exposure are very good but a bit pricey, Something like a Lezyne 300w will be enough for the front, look for one that has a Steady/pulse mode so it’s always on, then has a pulse too. I go overboard on rear lights just to be seen and normally run two, one on fast flash, one on permanent and mount one on the seat post and one on the rear seat stay just above the rear derailleur. Again 300w is probably enough. You can get yourself sorted for under £100 and they will be usb recharging for convenience

No ide on helmet, try a few (appreciate that may be hard at present), for pump I just co2 cartridges and briefly hate myself for the environmental sin.
