I'm getting into cycling as an adult and I'm wondering if I need to put a rearview mirror on my bike handlebars.

Well, I'm not a cycling expert, but I don't think it's necessary if you're only riding on roads that have a shoulder or have other people you can see easily, or if you're cycling in a park, or on dirt trails.

Let me run down a list of other possible gear so you can let me know whether they're necessary or not. What about a rear reflector?
user
That's necessary on all bikes.
assistant
What about a helmet?
