What We Carry on EVERY Ride! (Our Bicycle EDC)

👌👌👌spot on.

Way too much and too heavy.
What I need for my bikes: Spare tube, tube patches, short 3mm, 4mm and 5mm hex keys. When I’m traveling I add 4 spare spokes, spoke key, shifter cable, a few zip ties and a piece of tape wrapped around a piece of credit card. I’ve never had a broken chain.

Nice set of stuff. Thanks!

That chain tool also looks like a tire tool.

Like you kit but not the two chain breakers. Also I like to carry zip ties and duct tape. I wrap the duct tape around my tire levers so it is always there if I need to boot a tire or quickly repair a jacket or something else. Good stuff with your first aid kit, it is minimal but covers the bases. Oh, and a pocket knife!

You might actually find that tube glue dries out once opened for the first time. So as much as this is better than glueless, I stopped carrying glue, cause it can be single use, or very chancy after first use-you carry it, but don't relly know it it's dry or still usable=if you ride or push home despite having "all" the tools :-)

Are the Pedro's tire levers strong enough to remove tubeless tires?

I always carry water and my cell phone and ID, medical insurance card and a little cash

When I ride in Northern Idaho, you bet your bippy I ride with Bear Spray. And no, the cheapie pepper spray will only get you eaten. Think of the pepper spray as a condiment for how tasty you are to that hungry momma bear. When I ride in Southern Idaho, you can bet your bippy I ride with Bear Spray. I have seen cougars on the trail and it's not fun thinking you are basically cat nip for these pretty kitties. As a Clydesdale Rider, my must have is a small shoe polish size can of Chamois Cream. Don't laugh, it has literally gotten me back to my starting point. I also carry in my seat bag a tiny water purification straw. It's 3 inches and does the job. I wouldn't want to use it long term, but for the JIC moments, yeah.

Why do you have only one tire lever

I pretty much carry the same thing but also carry a emergency beer and zigzags and a lighter

Hi Russ. I saw where you carry gauze to hold on the bandana. There’s a way to tie bandanas so you don’t need that. Any rocker kid from the 80s knows. Turn it diagonally and roll. Then the narrow corner ends give you built in ties for bandaging. I actually had to use this technique for a friend who fell and gashed her leg while we were riding a gravel trail. It’s a very handy technique.

I carry a small rectangle cut from an old inner tube. A couple of years back a tyre had a big blow-out but the hole was small enough for me to insert a piece of the blown out inner tube between the new inner and the tyre, although it took some time to cut out a piece without the use of a knife. As long as it will withstand 20 psi it will get you home.

Did you notice that the wolf tooth also has a tire removal spoon on end?

You should carry a proper CAT tourniquet, none of those other things you have will even begin to work for stopping significant bleeding.

Cash?

A trash bag like a kitchen liner for super compact emergency rain gear. Make sure you can fit it over your torso.

You should consider using quickclot! It won’t replace a tourniquet if you nick and artery or vein but for large cuts that bleed heavily it can be a real help

Old (& interesting!) video, but I wanted to add: sunscreen! Have had my fair share of sunburned calves...
And for me personally: chapstick - I get really dry lips on long rides.

I carry bear spray just to keep the kids in line on family rides.

Tube tires?

I carry only my leatherman, sometimes water.

On day rides I occasionally get lost on back roads on Vancouver Island so also carry a lighter, compass, and SAK or Leatherman and map. Along with mylar blanket, powerbank, garbage bag and whistle and of course coyote/dog spray (bear spray carry is iffy in Canada). This stuff stays with the bike on every ride.

How many kilo meter do you usually ride??

Great list! If I could add: pocket knife (never be without) and an ounce of Baby shampoo.
The knife is obvious and the baby shampoo is essential for cleaning wounds or sensitive body parts. E.g.: irrigating eyes. Thanks for the video.🐾🇨🇦

So as a vegan, do I need to carry Kale strips instead of the bacon strips 🤔😬

Never leave home without a Leatherman and a light weight tarp :)

It looked like the chain quick link tool was also a tire lever.

flip the extra little bitt of nato strap back underneath it's self so it doesn't show, you monster!

I have a whistle in my first aid kit. It's come in handy if people get separated and I've actually used it once when hunting and some of the party got temporarily lost. I also tend to have a light jacket if it rains...

Im in Australia m8 snakes funnel webs no bears ! Ha ha !

I add a small rag for cleaning everything from sealant to greasy stuff, a paper towel instead of TP, park tire boot and tube because stuff just happens.

Casio watch-Looks like a G Shock on a nato type strap. 👍 Definitely a watch guy. 🔥🚴🏻‍♂️🔥

Perfect accessories! 👍

If you ride by yourself over long distances:
-2 pumps
-multiple tubes, at least one with "no patches"
-small vice grips
-decent quality electrical tape (you cab wrap a blowout, for instance; just remember to disconnect the brake to that wheel)

I ride a long distance but in a city, so I haven't been carrying much 'survival' eqpt. Thinking about adding some this year. The problem with a some of that is it can age poorly and not actually be of use when you need it.

I'm a Mountain Biker and I love this vid, Bro.

Like your channel! Throw a minibic lighter in the bag and some tinder like wetfire etc. re stopping a real bleeding Cary a TQ a SWAT T would fit your minimal vibe hell you could probably use it for extra tube patches..
Keep rocking the party pace.

Oddly enough, I had my first chain break today. Guess I need to add a chain breaker and master link to the go-bag.
Only walked about 2 blocks before a neighbor picked me up and gave me a ride home. Lucky

There's a disturbing lack of flashlight on this kit. I hope that's been fixed in more recent iterations.

I carry bear spray all the time when I'm in the woods. I've been laughed at a lot while cycling but IF it ever happens it is always better to have something one doesn't need than to need something one doesn't have.

Most of it is the same. But it's a difrent brand.

Yeah Russ mine is very different from your. I carry a lot of sheeeeit.. I am not going to name everything I carry but the list comes down to a few categories. 1Safety / security (first aid kit bike lock and knife lights whistle with a compass) 2 maintenance ( Allen wrenches tire levers valve two pumps mini and lithium battery powered removal tool parts bin small) 3 Power / paper ( small battery bank writing paper and pen toilet paper) miscellaneous ( scissors ✂️ electrical tape

I'm with you on the separate chain tool. Multitools with a built-in breaker can be a real faff to use.
I get by with a cheap but really handy "Bare Bones" multitool and a very old park tool breaker like yours stuffed in the back of my saddle pack.
That said, the last time I used the breaker was 15 years ago. But I seem to use the allens on the Bare Bones for something almost every ride.

I carry bear spray and a .22. Be sure and be safe.

Real basic for a day ride. I always carry a few spokes , but have not need them in years. Spokes are so much stronger that 40 or 50 years ago. I still carry my frame pump on the top tube. My best back up tool is my Smart Phone.

I keep a gun on my bike ride for bears and people

I haven't seen a video of somebody carrying a tool to take off the nuts for your wheel, which is interesting because you kind of have to take off your wheel to change the tube in case of a flat.

Great video! Do you still use the tattico? If so, how is the performance compared to when you bought it

Love the addition of first aid stuff! People will pack all these bike tools, but expect to never fall off their bikes
