I carry a standard tube, not a self-sealing slime tube. Those are too heavy.

credit card and $20,
And a old ID if you want to be ID’d if you have a crash.
I also carry a couple one dollar bills if I pass a lemonade stand. The $20 is case I want a beer.

You don’t need patches AND a spare tube.

Chain lubricant and a microfibre cloth. If it rains or you cycle far enough you will need more chain lubricant and to dry the chain.

Having 2 tubes is a confidence booster. Also some kind of cloth for wiping things off. Those WetWipes are useful and don’t take up a lot of space. A Park spoke wrench.

Reflective vest and one of those compressed plastic ponchos, assuming you ever go out in anything that isn’t clear, sunny midday.

Chain breaker/multi tool (crank brothers makes a nice one) and the Wolftooth Master link pliers are 100% awesome.

– Chain break or multi-tool w/chain break.
– I’d carry a TPU tube as a spare, and drop the bulky and heavy slime tube which will be more of a mess than worth it.

Mini pump. It’s very, very difficult to inflate your tire without one!
