What tools (if any) do you carry on your rides?
What tools (if any) do you carry on your rides?
A couple years ago, no tools π . I was commuting between home and campus just a mile away, so if something went wrong I'd just lock the bike and come for it later.
Nowadays, just a few to do an inner tube & chain replacement, and some other small bits that might come in handy.
- 2 spanners (one adjustable)
- Backup lights & head torch
- Tyre levers & adhesive puncture patches
- Mini track-style pump
- Screwdriver for the chain enclosure
- Pliers for the rollerbrakes and internal hub gear cables

I've found the head torch to be surprisingly helpful... Had a puncture in the dark once, and without that I would have been there a while lol
You're viewing a single thread.
Repair kit, poncho, cable lock, ulock, spare tube, pump, and safety glasses for night riding.
Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong kind but why would you need safety glasses for riding at night?
Ever have a bug hit you in the eye? It sucks. I just use safety glasses because they're clear and don't make things darker like sunglasses do.
I wear cycling glasses all the time when riding, for the same reason as @[email protected] to keep the bugs out. They also prevents my eyes from tearing up during the winter
Used to wear safety glasses, but jumped to cycling ones after a while because people would just uncomfortably stare π
I wear safety glasses because I am a cheap bastard lol
