What's the worst thing that you've forgotten to bring with you for a ride?

I excelled myself today, by leaving my flat, getting into the lift, exiting the building, then realising I'd forgotten something. That'll be the bike then.

It would be sunglasses for me. Both when sun is out and when its not.

Clothes for change when I arrive at work. Happened twice. Had baby wipes and deodorant so not so bad...

Sunglasses are a favourite, I even rode 5 miles back to get them once to find out they were on my head all along.

Probably gloves for me. Which is a bit feeble compared to "bike".

I left my mtn bike boots or rather the boots I use for mtn biking at home a few weeks ago on a weekend away walking. So I ended up using my Scarpa manta's to go mtn biking in. They were OK actually.

Sort of related, I was in Eureka Cyclists Cafe a few months ago. An old bloke rode home on someone else's bike!

I forgot my work pass onto which was attached my locker key, in which I have my shower gel, toiletries and change of clothes.

A similar thing happened at a shooting club I attend. The consequences there are fairly serious.

Done that on so many occasions I now always keep emergency stock in my work locker.

The valve adapter for my pump. Had a PUNCTURE, so I got the wheel and tyre off, located the hole, stuck a patch on, put the tube back in and the tyre back on, grabbed pump and started swearing at myself. Walked home.
