You heard me, what's in your bag?

Mine is heavy as fuck due to all the tools, the pump, the inner tube, allen keys, spanner,spoke key, water bottle, the waterproof jacket, the can of deodorant, the lights, the wallet, the sandwhiches, the keys, the spare socks, the overshoes. it actually feels better than sex, to empy the bag and carry it with nothing in it. It can't be healthy to carry that shit around all day.

What's in yours?

A-z of Edinburgh
Docketbook and pens
Wallet
inner tube & mini pump
Allan keys, spoke key, monkey wrench, chain tool, puncture repair kit, latex gloves.
Karrimor jacket.

It's all about the Mini A-Z. A girl I work with bought one and I could only caress it's smooth cover, and pages that won't fall out.

Complete with laminate cover... to catch the tears of joy.

Been thinking about bringing my camera with me, though it's an SLR so maybe not that practical.

Hello messenger peoples.

I've no right to be posting on here at all while I'm (temporarily) skiving in an office.....however, when I'm on the road.

Pump (with two adaptors, just in case there is someone I know who might need an ATB tyre inflated)
Allen keys
Spanners
Spare brake cable
Lights (two front, two back)

"This is amazing! I might have to steal your idea."

It is an ace idea isn't it :D

Well, the thing is you see, when it rains you get wet, then when you stop moving , the heat leaves your body quicker because water conducts heat at a much higher rate than air does, thus, making you cold as fuck. Also, spending 8 hours with wet clothes next to your skin is not a particularly nice feeling.

Maybe the weather was different here compared to London, but July was a miserable month up here in Brum.

April, on the other hand, was hot and sunny, like summer :-S
