Everthing that's not part of the function of the bicycle is considered an accessory. Lights, locks, bags, and mirrors, to name a few, are what make cycling fun and safe. Texas state law requires that a bicycle ridden after sundown or before sunrise be equipped with a power front light (the white reflector your bike came with fills no leagal requirement), and a power tail light or reflector visible for 300 feet and 500 feet respectively. Today the power tail light, or "blinky" as Steve likes to call it, is a favorite amount nocturnal cyclists. Many riders use a flashing or "see me" headlight in addition to a steady beam headlight.
