From: San Juan Island, Washington
Bikes: 1985 Raleigh Alyeska Touring, Reynolds 555 CroMoly (heavy and comfortable), 2004 Litespeed Palio, (more bike than I'm used to...)
I live on an island where all roads lead to Rome...er...home. When you recognize every 5th car, it's easy to get a ride somewhere so I don't carry an extra tube.
I do carry:
in my Jandd Mouse Bag
Park MT-1 (awesomely light and versatile tool)
Park Patch Kit
Two tire levers
CO2 inflator
Veterans Admin Medical Card/w/SSN & Photo
Presta-Shrader coupler
Thin, waterproof seat cover to protect the Brooks Swift
$20
If I can't fix it myself in a couple of minutes, screw it, up goes the bike on the shoulder and out goes the thumb. No prob...
