just getting into the sport/ gears & apparel
 

hi i'm just beginning to enter into the field of bike riding.
i'm very excited. hopefully this is not a repeated post..

however i'm getting word from many that it would be smart to gear up first before I get on any bike
i'm going for a sport bike and i plan on doing easy in town riding mostly over summer here in soCal weather
what is the best place to purchase gears (jacket, pants, gloves, helmet?) (textile/mesh material)
perferably a fast and friendly site/store that has good reviews/customer service and
since i'm new, cost is an issue
so any easy beginning rider and economic Brands suggestions? would help
Thanks a bunch!
