Flat kits? Tools? Bottles and Cages? Lights? Bags? etc.
I've about spend all my money on the bike, so I'm not about to go out and buy it all. What do ride with?
A small patch kit; multi-tool; yes water bottle and cages a necessity; I use a seat post light which is a Korg Blinder 4V that is insanely bright; carry at least one extra tube; tire lever but this is sometimes a part of certain multi-tools; extra chain links for any incidental damage that can occur; I probably forgot something but others will add.
