Bike survival kit - what should it contain?
Looking to get some good quality replacements for the tools in the standard kit, as I have been running without one for a long time now. What should be in it? Here are the things I can think of.
C spanner Couple of fixed wrenches (but which sizes) Allen key set Screwdriver (philips and stanley) Bit of tape Sockets? Spare fuses Cable ties Spare bulbs? Tyre pressure gauge (pen type) Basically, I guess I want to make a survival kit for the bike! So I would add: Photocopies of docs Some cash Puck Fold up water proofs Ear plugs I've also got this tiny bottle of visor wash with a squeegy on it. Bloody handy that at this time of year! Anything else? Thanks! |

I use the wee CO2 cans instead of carrying a pump, much smaller...

 And i got a puck, foil blanket, ear plugs, disc lock, phone charger and cig lighter I also got a full 1 piece waterproof suit but that takes up all the space under the seat  The bag a brought from the local cycle shop for about £5, its like a shower bag but smaller, fits perfectly under the seat |

That is true
 Though I reckon if the tyre's that bad, I wouldn't be trying to pump it up with a small cycle pump either
