Looks like you are well prepared. You got a lot more stuff in there than me. One thing that you didn't mention was some sort of I.D. I carry an old card with my name and address on it. Just in case.

I carry an ID around my neck with my medical info and $20. I like to keep the money close to my hart the $1 was there befor I got the tire boot, I don't think a $1 will get me a candy bar any more.

Impressive, Wild! Semper Paratus, huh. Makes my seat bag contents seem inadequate.

Alex gave the best answer and against my better judgement...
1 tube, 2 Co2 cartridges, 2 tire levers, sometimes I have rubber gloves and individual wet ones but not often

Looks like a good combo to me unless you were really headed out on a tour. The one thing I might add is some first aid stuff.

Nothing stinks more than getting 15 miles or so from home and then either having to wait on someone to come get you or walking back.

A dollar will save you if you blow a side wall on your tire though buy lining the tire with the dollar. It's not a permanent fix but it'll keep the tube inside the tire till ya get home. I tried it with four quarters but it didn't work as well.

My under seat bag is on the front rack....

I guess Bandaids and Neosporin would be some first aid
I am suprised no one mention duct tape, I have thaught about some but have not found what I want to put it on in my bag.
No I don't think the tools are a bit much , I have them allso to help outhers that don't carry them. By the way the bike is 27# befor I put any thing on it so a # or 2 here or there won't make a big differnce. I ride alone and there is not much trafic on some of the roads I ride and no cell phone service eather.

This is an older picture and I believe this was the kit for my fixed gear bike which has different needs than a geared bike.
