Repair kit
Spoke key

Spare chain links with powerlink
Tyre levers
Multitool (with tyre levers, screwdrivers, chain tool, Allen Keys)
Zip ties
Latex gloves - for roadside repairs
3 carrier bags - to cover the saddle & bar ends in case I have to put bike upside down on pavement to work on it
Mini Pump (on frame)
Hooded waterproof
Hi Viz vest in case it's overcast/raining/dark.
£3 bus/train fare - in case something serious happens and I can't get the bike fixed roadside and I'm too far to walk home.
I commute 24 miles a day, 365 days a year so I like to be prepared for all eventualities.
At work, I have a bottle of lube and wet wipes in case it rains on the way in. I'll clean and re-lube at lunchtime to ensure the ride home is smooth.
