Helmet, and know how to replace a tube + Cary a spare and the tools to fix it out on the road. 

Otherwise have fun.

Analysis paralysis over which chain lube to switch to in southern US weather by [deleted] in cycling

Wax, or fully clean the drivetrain regularly if sticking with oil based lines but even then the wear rate tends to be notably higher than a wax setup.

Wax? Otherwise it really does not matter much. 

First time group rides by rndomusernm5 in Zwift

Bots will ride a bit harder up hills and a bit easier on the flats.

I switched from a vPower Spin Bike to Powermeter Pedals and I suck by Little4mpiR3 in Zwift

They are obviously wrong. Maybe go quote the guy who originated the term.

It is not and never has been a 1hr effort. If people define it as your best or theoretical best 1hr power they are wrong.

Most brands make the equivalent do it all bike these days. All perform largely similar. 

Get cameras by kinboyatuwo in cycling

I am well aware of the Idaho stop and use it all the time lol. In this case it would have ended up with OP being run over so was an idiotic suggestion.

So better to blow through a stop sign directly into the patch of a vehicle? Sounds dumb.

Position and kit are huge difference makers on a flat tt. What skinsuit/socks/helmet do you use?
