Thanks for the additional info. A basic wired or wireless bike computer might give you some fun info: avg speed, distance, time. I don't know why you would need cadence. Your shop can sell you an inexpensive computer.
You may or may not want the clipless pedals and shoes. Look into that if you find your feet slipping off the pedals or just get curious. Certainly no need to buy high-end shoes like Sidis. Specialized (and other companies) make perfectly good shoes that cost much less and are fine for casual use.
Power meters are great for serious training - for people who race. And they are expensive. Seems you could skip that.

This sort of thing seems to be
