I carry a lot...

Two water bottles, air pump, tools, two spare tubes, wallet, keys, pocket knife, phone, some paper towels, lights, cycling computer, and sometimes if I'm riding in a less than optimal area, or at night, a Smith and Wesson 637.

All of the above is on my bike, I don't carry anything on my person to avoid the chance of it falling out/off.
