What do you carry when riding?

[spudgun]

Hip flask of whisky,cigarettes and a mars bar

 

[Lysander]

Mars bar??? Are you mad??? Those things are loaded with sugar............

 

[CAS]

Here's my list

Minimum kit!
At least 1 inner tube
Tyre levers
Multitool
Couple of extra allen keys for good measure!

To this add, depending on type of outing
Mobile phone
waterproof jacket
Knee warmers
Food/drink
money and debit/credit card

And for good measure
Spare undies
socks

And a few girlie items I'm not going to mention in detail on a predominately male forum!

 

[MJN]

Oh yeah usually carry a couple of energy gels,good for hunger knock and the wrapers make good tyre boots if you split a sidewall.

 

[dbmtb]

Minitool with chaintool and glueless patches.
Tube
Co2 pump and 2 canisters (In case I'm in a hurry) OR latex spray if I'm running tubeless.
Minipump (In case I get more punctures than I have Co2 canisters)
Wallet
Phone
Keys

And spare batteries?

It is kind of liberating to ride with no excess baggage. I went out last weekend on the cross bike with a tube, CO2 canister,bottle and one energy gel. Felt kinda naked without the camelbak.....

*spare tube.
*55gms pump (that doesn't work but it's 55gms).
*world's smallest multitool.
*1 bottle
*1 tyre lever
*phone
*c card.


All in one seat bag. ('cept the bottle obviously.)

don't do c'baks anymore, it's lovely without them. As kev says, liberating,

 

[Bike Hoarder]

I'm with Kev, naked without a camelbak.
Problem is though, get something like a Mule, and you end up stuffing it with stuff you don't really need.
Mine is stuffed with;
Tube or 2
Puncture kit
Pump
Tyre levers... proper metal ones
Multi allen key
Screwdriver for mech screws
Chain tool
Zip ties
Electrical tape
Museli bar of sorts
Phone
Waterproof, depending on weather
Keys

And probably a whole host of stuff i've forgotten!
