I was just curious what others thought they just HAD to have with them for a longer ride. There are a few obvious ones (helmet, durable clothing, jacket) but what do you need and why? Here are a couple of my own:
1. Copies of my driver's license, insurance card and registration stored in a ziplock water proof bag kept on the bike
2. Boots to cover my shin. Nothing like a rock the size of a marble hitting your shin bone going 75 MPH
3. Nutcup. This may fall in the TMI (Too Much Information) category but I equate an accident on a bike to flying spread eagle through the air and whacking the "goods" on a telephone pole. BONUS: the women think you're "packing".
Anyone else?
