#dailymission I used to carry spare everything when running. Now that I'm cycling, let's see. I have a tire pump, 2 spare tubes, glueless patch kit, spoke wrench, digital tire pressure gage and several light jackets and sweatshirts. Hmmm. Looks like I'm a bit paranoid about flat tires. :-)

Hmmm, I carry a phone and a pack of gum.

Same as you Scott but not sure what a tire is - that what happens to me ;-)

I carry to inner tubes, glueless patch kit, bike pump, bike levels to change the tire, and a cell phone but I still had to walk home when the pump failed. So I added a new pump and maybe I'll start carrying Co2 to pump up the tires.

I carry a lot more on my rides including a phone, tire levers, etc. But the stuff in the car is my "backup" stuff I guess. I also read on DM where someone carries stuff in his/her car (sorry, I don't remember who) to fix a flat should they come across a down rider. I liked that idea so I also carry enough to help out should the opportunity present itself.

But Scott, you are a former runner! When I go out on my bike I always take a bike lock and figure I'll just run home if I get a flat and lock my bike up!!

What is it they say, 'People pack around what they fear most, something, something...'
My guess is you really loathe flats and don't enjoy the cold ;-)

@Ryan, I'm not sure I could manage a run home, especially carrying my bike. But I'm not opposed to a long walk! :-) @Pedro, funny you should say this. When I did an inventory of my car, I added several things including a multi-tool. I didn't think of a spare gel or two, but I'm going to add those now. I forget those often! @Jeff, you nailed it!! :-D
