What emergency equipment do you carry?

Here are the possibilities I wanted in the poll, unfortunately poll is not multiple choice, so it doesn't realy work... this after a good hour trying to get the right questions. Just copy the text, TAKE THE [quote = peanutjar] out at beginning and end, put an X before the ones that apply, and post your answer.

Yup... as I noted it took me a while to figure that out. If you care to give us the rundown, you can use the "copy & paste" method I suggest in the text...

Thanks!

What emergency equipment do you carry?

Road only rider. I take a spare tire(use tubies), a $5 bill, that's all. Farthest is about 50 miles from home.

 

[kdelong]

I am a road rider.

I carry a spare tube, patch kit, CO2 inflator with extra cartridge, three prong hex key, 2 plastic tire tools, small phillips screwdriver, convertable cable with small nipper, spoke wrench, cell phone, $1.00 in coins and $20+ in smaller denominations, ID/Drivers License, 2 water bottles, and fruit in my jersey pockets. I also keep several spare spokes with nipples in the seat tube.

I prefer to ride in fairly desolate areas so I either transport my bike to a starting point or ride through the suburban jungle to get to where I like to ride. Average ride is 40 miles, more on the weekends, less in cold weather.

 

[alienator]

Road, 50-70 miles from home, a few bucks, a CO2 inflator head, a can or two of Pitstop, a cell phone, and sometimes a spare tubie.

When did they start having desolation in Ohio?
