I carry bear spray just to keep the kids in line on family rides.

Good every day carry. I almost always have one pannier on the bike. Carry a small alcohol stove, a cup, instant coffee, snack bars. Nice to be able to stop and have a hot drink especially here in Vermont. Rain gear, buff.Tools. Always carry some identification and my health insurance card. Never know when you might need it. Really like that pump. May have to get one before my next long ride. Thanks for the video and safe cycling, Al

Nice kit. I add a spare tube even when running tubeless and of course a small roll of toilet paper in a zip lock bag.

Whistle (Fox40) to alert search parties in case you're incapacitated and off the path--yelling has limited duration and distance. Also a whistle discourages bears and mountain lions.

Great kit! I'd probably carry TP, a small essentials bag with hygiene items and echo the zip ties. I'd also take some gorilla tape, para cord and replace your mylar blanket with a heavier duty "casualty" blanket which can keep you warm or build a shelter with the grometted edges. Love your stuff!

Up in Banff I bought a can of bear spray that size, and the lady behind me said, "I didn't know they made them that small." It did not boost my confidence hiking.

In the saddle bag:

Multi tool, 2 tubes... (2 more in a backpack for longer rides.) Tire levers and presta-to-schrader valve adapter.

For my fixie I carry the same but also add a 15mm combo wrench...with the open end cut off, edges ground, then wrapped in electrical tape. And also a 10mm stubby ratchet wrench (for the chain tensioner).

I also carry a frame pump...the Topeak Turbo Morph.

Love the addition of first aid stuff! People will pack all these bike tools, but expect to never fall off their bikes

I'm a big fan of small pumps with a foot. Pumping up a tire with just arm strength is beyond me. I highly recommend them for folks without tons of upper body strength. I've used Topeak and Lezyne and and happy for the peg every time I flat in my land of broken glass and thorns.

A good tip with the first aid kit, I realized mine is too limited. I never ride without a spare tube, I've had cuts in tires that no amount of sealant could ever fix, zip ties are also useful.

The Wolftooth pliers one of the handles also is a tire lever. Heads up on the toe warmers you showed, they have expiration dates. They are usually only good for the year you bought them after that they don't seem to work all that great and may not work at all. Same with the hand and body warmers that are air reactive.

That’s a good list Russ. Thanks for sharing. I agree with Christopher on the zip ties. Small ones and medium size . Easy to carry. A pair of very small cutters or blade of some type to cut them off if needed. I use one to secure my pump. Also lately I’ve added one extra spare set of SPD cleats to carry. It occurred to me one day I should have that when I lost a screw to them one day. Thanks again,

I carry a more extensive first aid kit, with a variety of things to stop bleeding and some other goodies, on the theory that the life I save may *not* be my own. I also carry a bandana, because a bandana is a miniature towel, and as we know, towels are the most massively useful objects in the universe. You should always know where your towel (or bandana) is. Leatherman Micra, tube, patch kit, tire levers, pump, gloves, water, and a phone.

[beachbumb]

Pretty complete kit! The couple other things I like to carry are aqua tabs for water purification and a few waterproof matches.

[Delboy]

A handy wee hack is to get some good quality, strong duct tape and wrap a few winds around your pump. It's a convenient place to store even a foot or two of it just in case.
A couple of winds of electricians tape wouldn't go amiss either.

[machyne]

I carry zip ties. If you brake a free hub, you can even use them to wrap around the spokes and fix gear out.

[sci-fyguy]

Casio watch-Looks like a G Shock on a nato type strap. 👍 Definitely a watch guy. 🔥🚴🏻‍♂️🔥

[vickanid]

I have a whistle in my first aid kit. It's come in handy if people get separated and I've actually used it once when hunting and some of the party got temporarily lost. I also tend to have a light jacket if it rains...

[sameoldcircus]

I carry much the same but also have a bag for trash, some rubber gloves, and some Tums. I carry the Tums because they seem to help with muscle cramps. Everything else is self explanatory

I'm a Mountain Biker and I love this vid, Bro.
