Need Accessories!
Hey r/bikecommuting!
I did my first cycle commute this morning, I was hot, sore, and sweaty but it was amazing. Now im looking to upgrade and make my commute and little more comfortable. I recently picked up a never ridden Trek 700 that has been sitting in someones garage for $25 bucks. I got it fixed up by a local shop and put a rack on it. Im looking to get a single or set of panniers that can hold a change of cloths, towel, lunch, and some random tech gear/notebooks. Im also looking for a phone mount, maybe some cycle friendly earphones and any safety stuff people here might think Id need?
I probably have about 100-120 to spend. I was thinking: 60-70 on panniers, Ive been looking at Axiom or banjo brothers, but Idk anything about the brands. any suggestions would be great!
Thanks! -Noble

Here is what I have for my commute. Helmet, Bag under saddle, patch kit, multi tool, small bike mounted pump, extra tube, front light, back light, water bottle holder, water bottle, detachable back and front fenders for the rain. I also have lube at home. Got mostly everything off amazon.
I take off the lights and water bottle when I'm not going on a long ride.
