What do you think is the best inner city biking gear for commuting to an from work/school?
Bikes: Huge fan of a website called bikesdirect (I got my bike from there 4 years ago now.
Bags: I prefer Chrome over Timbuktu
Shoes: Shoe's you can actually use off the bike, DZR makes some awesome ones, but I can't afford them
Pants: Good ol fashioned jeans? Or do you use something else?
Coats: Depending on the season, I think if you wait for the winter clearance sale at REI you can get a great shell and external coat for 60% off
Gloves: Regular cheap gloves with some touchscreen material sewn in (get it at jo-ann fabrics etc)
Helmet: Any "Nutcase" helmet can be fun.
Pet peeves: People that "have to beat you" to the next light while in their cars, or just have to cut you off to make a right turn... those 3 seconds are soooo crucial.
You forgot weapons and tactical gear (j/k)
Steel-plated armor?
I'd say a carbon fiber exoskeleton would probably be an awesome investment... Think of it as a "non-water" life preserver.
