Don’t end up standing beside your bicycle, wishing you’d brought along some simple item. Carry what you need to ensure you’ll get to your destination. Here are some suggestions.
Essentials for local bicycle trips
Even if riding a short distance, don’t leave home without the following:
Allen keys (in the size you need for your bike)
Chain or D-lock
Lights
Lip balm
Pump and puncture repair kit
Spanner (if required to remove the wheel)
Spare inner tube (quicker than fixing a hole)
Sunscreen
Tyre levers (for removing tyres)
Essentials for longer cycling trips
When packing for longer trips, you need everything in the preceding list, as well as the following:
Cable ties (can fix just about anything!)
Camera
Elemental protection (in case of rain or cold weather)
Fuel (in the form of food)
Map or GPS device
Phone
Phrasebook (if travelling to a country where you don’t speak the language)
Spare spokes, chain links and other bike tools
Water (enough to keep hydrated)
