How many of you carry a first aid kit on a day ride? What do you bring? I know my day rides are typically more dangerous because I have to navigate through a lot of traffic to get to the scenic roads and trails. I've never brought a first aid kit on these rides. Although I do always bring some Ibuprofen.
On a tour in Japan with little villages maybe every 30-40km in even the most sparsely populated areas, you'd be fine without a first aid kit.
