    Saw a thread yesterday over on STW about what riders carry when out on a road ride.

    Thought it would be a good topic here!

    I am about to buy a Lezyne smart wallet as it holds much of what I carry. Then just add food and a pump!

    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, often nothing. Saddle pack with 3 tubes, Var tyre leave, multitool, front light. Pump attached to water Bottle bolts.

    Left Pocket – Phone, ID and money in plastic ziploc bag
    Middle Pocket – Rain jacket or gilet
    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.

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

    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.
