I would avoid riding at dark but I could see myself doing it a few times a month.
Basically this MEC helmet should keep me safe ? https://www.mec.ca/en/product/5057-509/Skyway-Cycling-Helmet
Will probably go for a lock like this : Kryptonite New-U Evolution Mini-7 Heavy Duty Bicycle U Lock with 4' KryptoFlex Double Loop Bike Cable https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B06XZT8KZ1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XHjyDbWH7ECF7
Should be good?
I thankfully already have a bell so don’t have to buy one of those. Also got myself a mini tire pump.
This is exact set I'm using.

There are newer options available http://www.sony.ca/en/electronics/action-cam/t/action-cam
They have pretty good reviews, I did a lot of research before putting money down on that one, and based on my own personal usage, it's exactly as described on the reviews.
Let me see if I can find the youtube link...
Here's a good one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqMiuKmulNc
you can skip to the parts with license plates or the night videos parts.
there was another reviewer that was in a much much more detailed, but that link above should be good enough for what you are trying to find out.
With that budget, see if you can find a vintage Cannondale CAAD or a Bianchi Pista.
​
Maranoni are hard to come by but good conditions one are around that price.
​
As for the lock, you can get something lighter like the Abus Granit plus https://www.amazon.ca/Abus-Granit-108x150mm-4-3x5-9-Thickness/dp/B00GCB287O/
I ended up seeing this speaker at a Dollarama in my city and I grabbed it. Decent audio quality and no issues with connectivity!
It's super neon green and goes perfectly with my handlebars! It has a suction cup on the bottom and I used an elastic around the stem to mount it. Heh heh...
I've been using a Satechi Pro for a couple of years and it has worked well - the clear cover still allows you to use touchscreen on phone. You can take it in or out easily with a velcro closure.
I bought these when they were one sale and under $20 About 600km on them so far and I'm very happy with them. Arrived in 2 days and took 2 minutes to install.
$100 is probably overkill. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00LOABKFO/ is 50 bucks with tax, and that will stop anything short of an angle grinder.
http://thesweethome.com/reviews/best-bike-lock/ is a great read.
You gotta layer the gloves.
I have a pair of these that is cool until -1
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00XR17RWI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I throw on the top part of these when it gets too cold.
I went out today, no issues.
The outer shell works fine with any thin glove.

Also worth considering.
Cool find. $40 with the risk of getting hit with 15% duty though. A 2 wheel set of Pinheads can be found at Amazon.ca for roughly the same price: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B001Y9VNS4.
Yeah, I don't mind buying a couple locks. I was looking into these locks:
Kryptonite 999485 Black 14mm x 39-Inch, 1410 New York Fahgettaboudit Chain and New York Disc Lock
Kryptonite New-U New York Fahgettaboudit Mini Heavy Duty Bicycle U Lock Bike Lock
Kryptonite New-U New York Standard Heavy Duty Bicycle U Lock Bike Lock
Abus Granit XPlus 540, U-Lock, Key - USH, 160x230mm, 6.3''x9'', Thickness in mm: 13mm, Black
Probably gonna get the NY chain, and one of these U-locks. Tough decision between the three u-locks. I don't know if the mini Fahgettaboudit will be versatile enough. I like the mounting bracket that comes with the Abus, but the 13mm shackle is putting me off. However, my research tells me that the Abus is the most pick-proof.
Feel free to chip in if u have any suggestions. I had no idea that UofT was that rampant of an area for bike thieves, damn!
I also have a cheap $20 supercycle u-lock from Canadian Tire from when I was a kid, so I'll probably use that as a THIRD lock as well LMAO.
​
Another question I have though, is this: Will having 2-4 locks (2-3 on the frame/wheels and a small Abus $15 4mm chain for the seat) on a bike make it MORE susceptible to it being stolen as it'll certainly catch the eye of a thief?
