Survey, well sort of...

When you go riding what do you take with you..?

Do you have frame/seat bag or full on hydration backpack..?

I'm curious what people take in said bags...What you carry etc first aid, spares, tools, food, clothes..?

Post up what you take.

Will be interesting to see what you all carry.. :thumbup:

Camel back mule with 2 inner tubes, 3 tyre levers, patches (just in case), Multi tool, chain breaker, 2 magic links, glass wipes, pump, small zip tires, surgons gloves (for when its muddy and don't want your riding gloves or hands covered in s**t), wind stopper, hangers, Gels & mult loaf (only really used on Wales trips or all day epics). Over the top may be but my theory is you can't rely on some one else on having the said spare if you don't think it's worth having yourself.

Well I see most people carry all the good stuff,
But I got a tip once off an American from another forum.
He said if you carry a pump wrap some duck tape around the handle, it don't weigh anything but can save you and it can be used for so many things..!!

I also think one of the most important things is first aid kit ( hopefully never to be used ) but that's just me..
