What's with all this headlight/taillight stuff guys? It's almost summer fer chrissakes !

Pump is nice. I keep mine in my backpack for commuting purposes. Have a spare tube in there too. I try to keep on-bike stuff to a minimum because I like to stop and shop a lot on my commutes.

Another touring consideration is the trailer option. Trailers are a bit of a hindrance for some tours, especially solo tours, but if you have a tour buddy, it ain't so bad. I run a trailer fortnightly on my commute even.
