What should always be in the backpack of a cyclist Bashny.Net

It's time to open the Cycling season! But that your trip was safe and comfortable, do not forget to check list of essential things that you must take to the road.

A spare tire and a pump
Regardless of, you are going to ride on asphalt, dirt road or woods, in your backpack should always have spare tubes and a pump, so as to break the wheel can be anywhere, ran over glass or a sharp stone. Even if you are going to ride only a half hour or just drop in on a friend to roll the bike with a broken wheel will last longer, and ride — less.

A minimal set of tools
Of course, before leaving you need to check the technical condition of the bike, but on the road anything can happen. Modern mountain bikes, virtually everything can be repaired in the field, Unscrew one or two hexagons. And they need to carry. Well and a device for mounting/Dismounting the camera "print". On some models without it, it is not easy to replace the camera.

Water
You should drink water, especially during physical exertion. During Cycling in liquid requires the whole body, especially the joints, which is also not a small burden. Don't forget to bring a minimum of half a liter/a liter of pure water, and if the walk was long, build your route in order to restock.

Tie flashlight
A Must-have for anyone who loves to ride in the evening. A flashlight not only helps you to distinguish between the road and the inevitable holes and bumps, but will also make you visible on the road for cars, other cyclists and pedestrians. Personally, my flashlight has saved many times when trips were delayed until the evening. You could throw it in a backpack or just hang on the steering wheel.

Mobile phone and headset
The means of communication is another element of safety to consider. In the road can happen anything (ranging from a broken bike and ending injuries), and the mobile phone is often the only option to call for backup. And for the convenience and safety of the riding itself use Bluetooth headset to answer calls. By the way, Thank Baranskii has published an excellent overview of such assistance.

First aid kit
So should you think about first aid while walking. After all, you may fall off the bike or to cling to a tree branch and scratched my arm or face. Take a bactericidal plaster, bandages and hydrogen peroxide, with which it will be possible to treat small wounds. Also in the backpack will not be superfluous elastic bandage, as during Cycling at high risk of sprains.
