What's in your tool kit?

This topic comes up from time to time, and it bears repeating.

The sidewall fixing thread reminded me that I carry a small length of duct tape in case I have to do something like that. Someone has mentioned bailing wire or something like that. I can't remember the other clever tips.

I'm making a new list, and you can watch me change it. This way, the thread will have dynamic content (the messages) plus a static document, i.e. my list.

What tools and supplies do you carry for a one-day ride between three and hundred miles? On rides less than three miles, I carry nothing.

Contents of my list as of now:
  • tire levers
  • patch kit
  • allen keys
  • spoke wrench
  • spare tube
  • length of duct tape
  • bottle of oil
  • screwdriver
  • pump
