Which accessories do I need for mountain biking?

Question by lando83002: Which accessories do I need for mountain biking?
I just bought a mountain bike and the sales rep tried to sell me on a bunch of accessories. I refused to buy anything, but I'm curious which items I'll want to have with me while I'm out on the trails. Could someone please give me a list of must haves that I should get now and also a list of optional items I may want to get eventually?

Best answer:

Answer by Yoseme
Must haves:
A bike (duh)
Water bottle and cage/holder
a helment
gloves are great because falling on your hands hurts
sunglasses
The special shorts are great because they are made of spandex and don't ride up on you.
Saddle bag with spare tube and CO2 inflator (in case of a flat!) and a tire lever.

Optional but really nice to have:

Bike computer
Jerseys
Clipless Pedals and Shoes
Camel baks

That's all I can think of now.

Good luck
