a) Definitely definitely audacity, as everyone else has said.
b) Re: your comment below: pump is worth having one each because you ideally want to have a pump on you while you are out and about - if you get a slow puncture or just realise that you're a bit flat, you can fix things on the go. And they're so cheap that there's no real benefit to not having one each. Repair kits depend more on whether you would eg fix a puncture while out - I wouldn't, so it's not really worth carrying one around.
Gloves are very useful - I almost never wear them normally, but my hands get cold on the handlebars in all the wind. Also, if your chain falls off it's easily fixed but messy - get oil all over your gloves instead of your hands, that's my vote.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
