What do you carry with you when you ride.

[jcueto]

On the bike:
Multitool (crank brothers 19)
Puncture repair kit (for tubeless)
Some Duct Tape (just a couple of meters rolled on a small core)

On my Camelback (may change depending on the trip)
Water (2-3 lts)
Food (bars and some gels)
A leaterman tool (not too big not the mini)
Tie raps (those plastic ties great to some quick fixes)
Pump (on that works for tires & suspension)
I.D.
Money
Mobile phone and sometimes a radio (motorola talkabout)
GPS
Multi purpose paper (toilet paper - do not want to lost my socks anymore)
One of those towels packed in a really small package (almost "dehidrated" given in an event)
A shower cap from a hotel bathroom (great to cover the helmet during rain)
Lamp (LED head lamp)
Space blanket (can be used as a huge trash bag).
A small emergency kit (from aspirin to some bandages)
Sun screen (never used)
A spare tube just in case (not allways)

now you are just being ridiculous....a shower cap? a towel? duck tape and tie wraps?

I roll with duct tape too, zipties, multitool, 70oz water, shockpump, wallet, celly and a spare brake cable. I should really think of tubes and a tire pump

LOL...Well Pro most Brits would tell you that Tea Time can occur anywhere and anytime and you certainly need you patio set for just such occasion...

Speaking of the bare essentials I hear that a group cycled naked through London last weekend in protest of western gasoline dependency.
Was Fred C amoung that group?

 

[RubberSideDown]

I carry my fast @ss around when I ride. And then you want me to carry another 10 lbs. of ****?

The nice thing is, if you are riding with friends, you can divy up the load.
At the very least, carry a multi-tool, tire levers, patch kit, pump, and a cell phone.

No use really, but basic tools to carry out get-you-back repairs are essential if you are going to ride more than a mile away from your car!!!!

I don't like having to carry a knackered bike 12.5 miles over rough terrain in bike shoes because of a broken chain, burst tube etc. It can happen to ANYONE, but in my experience it tends to happen to those that are halfway round a 25 mile loop with no tools....

 

[dgz69er]

in my wedge i have a spare tube, patch kit, tire levers, three way socket, three way allen, chain tool, co2, and co2 tire pump.

in my camelback, i have my wallet, water(of course) an energy bar, and a knife
