Friend of the Mrs started cycling the other day- her boyfriend had bought her a helmet, multi-tool, pump and puncture repair kit as a gift for starting.
Her indoors bought the new cyclist a pair of gloves saying "the people on Neil's forum don't often wear helmets but they all wear gloves", which is common sense as you are very likely to trash your hands in most spills without them.
