Reminds me, I had a small Eclipse roll up minimal tire/tool bag back in the 1970s. Worked well. Just enough for a patch kit, levers, multi-tool. I don't think it was big enough for a spare tube.

When the first folding tires were available -- only intended for emergency use at the time -- I'd tuck it under the saddle naked, using a bungee cord to hold it. Just for longer rides away from civilization. Don't think I ever needed it though.
