That's a bit pricey, under eight quid in most supermarkets. Was it a litre bottle?

Some other extras, which I did not spot in the list so far.

- A small LED torch. Invaluable if you breakdown on a dark country road / cycle path - not just for fixing a problem but also for being seen. This is assuming you don't wear one of those head fitting LEDs as part of your normal gear.

- The obvious cellphone including some emergency numbers and possibly your bike frame number

- A £20 note in a plastic bag in case someone mugs you of your wallet or you fear losing that wallet

- Some first aid plasters in case you tangle with some brambles

- A whistle which you can use to attract attention.

- A hidden spare set of keys.

This thread has got me thinking... and I must renew my own kit bag!!!

....wet-wipes anyone...?

i usually have to tinker with something on the bike when i'm out, this usually means muck on the paws, and one simply cannot enjoy ones' sandwiches with grubby hands.

Some great ideas (with the exception of wotwozwhocarez), keep'em coming. I'll have to stick to the bare essentials for now as not much money left after the outlay for the bike itself but will create a wishlist that should do for birfday and xmas pressies for a while!!
Thanks again!
