I basically bring the same stuff on all rides I go on. I almost always have my pannier with me and in a side pocket I always keept a spare tube, levers, multitool, first aid kit, hand sanitizer, mini-pump, and patch kit.<br />
<br />
In the inside of my bag I keep a map, a small notepad (thought the pen seems to go missing more times than not), and some baby wipes.<br />
<br />
In another top compartment i keep my wallet, phone, keys, and lipbalm.<br />
<br />
On my bike, I have my lock, a presta adapter and water.<br />

I think I'm gonna add a frame pump, a second water bottle holder and I'm also gonna start carrying sunscreen all the time. So of course, Saturday night…tag:thechainlink.org,2008-08-18:2211490:Comment:31772008-08-18T03:17:46.798ZLeahhttps://thechainlink.org/profile/leah
So of course, Saturday night on the Perimeter Ride I had a flat. It was dark and I didn't have a tube for my 650 wheels and no one else did either. Luckily we were able to find and patch the hole, but I learned my lesson: scrap the patch kit, add a couple of 650 tubes.

Here's my general list- since I do a lot of solo long distance stuff, my bag tends to have more in it...<br />
<br />
ID<br />
Cash<br />
Phone<br />
2 Tubes<br />
Patch Kit<br />
CO2 Inflator + 2 cartridges<br />
Mini-Pump<br />
Tire Levers<br />
Multi-Tool<br />
15mm Wrench (wheels are bolt on)<br />
Tire Boot<br />
Spare Folding Tire<br />
Masterlink/Powerlink for Chain<br />
Clif Bar/Blocks<br />
Powdered Gatorade<br />
Lock<br />
<br />
Right now I carry most of this in a seat bag, and extra stuff in a backpack. I have a Carradice Barley seatbag on order though so I can ditch the backpack on longer…

Almost all of the above (no medical kit or lip balm, however...not a bad idea!), PLUS a water bottle and a spare tube.<br />
<br />
And I try to score a banana or two if I'm really sweating my a$$ off.<br />
<br />
P.S. once I was heading south by North Beach, and was flagged down by a woman who asked me "do you have a pump?" Which soon turned into "do you have a tube?" Which morphed into "Can you change this for me?" Long story short, I fixed her up, but depleted my emergency stash! I just hope a earned a wee bit of…
