What do you carry with you?

Lezyne back pocket pouch with tube or two, iphone, very mini allen key and screwdriver set, chain links and minipump in the middle pocket. All tools and pump Lezyne.

Montane featherlight jacket in the left (better in the outside as can pull out whilst riding).

A full gel flask (best £2 ever spent), sachet of 4:1 and High 5 chewy bar(s) in the right pocket.

Did ok for last year's Etape.

Pockets - money, keys, phone (in Wiggle pouch), pump, tyre levers, waterproof.

Saddle bag - inner tube, puncture repair kit, multi tool and latex gloves, during the winter I also try and remember a plastic bag incase I need to sit down where its wet while repairing a puncture.

back pockets, mini pump, mobile phone, small gillet if its looking dubious.

fizik small saddle bag- co2, tube, £20, debit card, tyre lever, door key.

try to avoid carrying anything i dont need

Phone and instant puncture fix canister. Travel light!

Although the guy that follows me with a spare bike on the roof is quite useful

Slightly different setups depending on whether its my road bike or my brompton.

I had a Lezyne tool caddy, the silver plastic wallet which I was swapping between bikes, but ended up with a micro saddle bag for my road bike for two reasons. The plastic of the tool caddy made my hip warm and bromptons and road bikes need different tools, plus it tool up a jersey pocket.

So road bike gels and food in left pocket. pump, gilet, hat and gloves in middle. phone and bank card for id, cash and keys on right in neoprene case. My gore ozone windstopper top has four pockets and this is great, better organisation.
Tube and repair kit, plus multitool in saddle bag and a few plasters etc. The Lezyne micro one is silent and solid. Blackburn Mars 4 is mounted at top of seat tube on frame where is fits perfectly, edge500 and cat eye el130 on bars.

Brompton spare tube, another blackburn mars 4, plus the niterider minewt 150, separate battery so that it works with the fold. 15mm spanner for the wheel nuts.
latex gloves and hand wipes too.
The pump and front light are the only things that moves between bikes.

I'm glad it's getting warmer again...

Back in the good old bad old days I used to keep whisky in my water bottle when I was commuting across London on my MTB. It wasn't as if I'd drink this every day. I'd keep it for cold evenings when I was at work, well I am Scottish.

One time I was waiting at the lights at the south side of Hyde park and had just taken a little tickle (seriously, a taste and no more to open the sinuses) and this bloke alongside me on his road bike asked me if he could have a quick drink as his bottle was empty.

"Nae problem," I said and handed him my bottle, then watched as he squirted a heavy shot into his mouth, which made him turn purple and cough and splutter.

"Whit's the matter, you no like whisky," I asked, "I ken it's only a blend but it's J&B an no some cooking whisky like Grouse or Bells," I added.

I managed not to laugh. I still wonder what he told his friends afterwards, or if that was one of those experiences he kept quiet.

I am well aware that there's a good chance he reads or contributes to this website.

Saddle bag has tube, patches,levers, chain breaker/multitool, spare link and a bit of cash. If the weather is iffy and the wear on the pads is questionable a spare set of pads may find it's way in. (Got fed up of collecting part worn pads in the tool box.)
Pump is mounted with bottle cage.

Never carried a phone in the last 25yrs or so.

My pump fits in my saddlebag.

Oh and you're right, there's probably something in the rules about bulging pockets.

All the usual stuff plus a chain missing link and a pair of disposable latex gloves - sounds weird but if you want to keep your white tape white even after a puncture they're a must.

Left pocket, rain jacket or nothing in good weather. Middle pocket, plastic bag containing HTC phone that often freezes and so unless, money, spare tyre leaders and non glue patches (useless) incase I accidently leave saddle pack behind, lense cloth for drying wet glasses, nakd berry cheek bar, tissue for snotty nose, very light retracting cable lock for coffee stop.

Right Pocket - flapjack or energy bars (seems easiest to get at for a right handed person)

2 x Co2 cannisters, air chuck, tyre leaves, multitool, inner tube, tiptop puncture repair kit, quick-link and couple of zip ties.

Still debating whether to risk no pump on anything but a long ride... if so, on frame.

Anyone else too paranoid to carry keys/wallet/phone in non-zipped rear pockets?

Can recommend the Rickshaw Pipsqueak (or a slightly larger saddle bag) if you are.

Nice - couldn't you leave them at work for the night?!

All the usual clobber but stashed in a Carradice. I hate riding with bulging pockets. On Tuesday night rides with the local bike shop I've usually got a pair of dirty pants as well, seeing as I've just left work.
