Yes, the Road Morph G is very nice. I imagined just such a pump during a century ride during the Labor Day weekend when I got two flats. I finally got me one of those last week and had a chance to use it on Wednesday. No problem getting up to 100 psi with one of those things.

Okay, here's a more complete list:
* Giro helmet
* Harbinger gloves
* Topeak floor pump
* P7 flashlight
* Topeak tool kit
* iPod + headphones.
* OnGuard Ulock
I didn't buy the iPod and earphones for my bike, but along with the helmet and the gloves, they're worn on every ride.

It's been mentioned before. But my most satisfying accessory is the pepper spray I have mounted on the bike. I leave at 4:30 AM everyday and that stuff makes me feel as if I'm ready for the worst scenario. That and my mirror.

+1 I always have 1) my helmet, 2) my gloves, and 3) my pepper spray. I've never had to use it, but have come close. Do you have a brand that you prefer?

Two non-bike things, both already mentioned. Fenix flashlights and my shuffle.

I'm going to have to go with my Burley D'Lite. When i was married, gave us the equivalent of a second car, now that I'm not, but the kids live here and she has the car, it is my car. We use it every day, and the kids love it. Now the problem is that one of them is getting too tall for it. Guess I need to teach him about exposure to the elements this spring.
