what do you take on a ride?

[itsallgood]

Forgive me if this has been done to death (and I know there's a topic on what you keep under your seat) but as I'm hoping to have my bike on the road shortly I just want an idea of what kit you guys take out on a ride / on a commute

I'm thinking of carrying a basic emergency kit in the bottom of my backpack with:

Spanners
Screwdrivers
pliers
Puncture aerosol thingy
Emergency fiver

Is this enough or what am I missing??

Standard tool kit, some spare fuses, a cargo net and the removeable exhaust baffle under the seat.
An allen key set and a small adjustable spanner in the top box.
Mobile phone, house and garage keys and wallet in my pockets.

edit: and waterproof overtrousers on longer rides, on the rare occasion that I remember them.

One debit card in jacket with license.. wallet in pillion seat. Disk lock and that's about it. I've got a basic tool kit - one of those halfords combi screwdrivers with allen heads etc. Gaffa tape and cable ties. That's about it really. Disc lock stays under the seat too along with a sidestand puck if i end up parking in gravel/mud

Oh yeah, WD40 and microfibre. One tucked under the screen for my visor. And one under the seat... to wipe my seat dry!

Sometimes a bottle of water.

The original bike tool kit, cable ties (these are always under the seat), phone, wallet & side stand puck. My disc lock in is the lockable front pocket, but it never gets used (it is still there from my holiday).
