What to bring on the trip?

It’s quite simple: Almost no matter how long a trip you plan, bring tools, food and extra clothes.

Tools

Only bring tools you can figure out how to use yourself.

For the short trip – the basic package:
Pump
Puncture kit

For the long day trip – the midi package:
Mini tools for bicycles
Extra hose
Plastic strips and a meter of DUCT tape for emergency repairs

For a cycling trip – the maxi package:
Cable cutter
Nipple wrench
Chain tool
Gear and brake cable
Chain link
Oil or wax for the chain
Disposable or work gloves

Remember: The easiest way to avoid needing tools is to give the bike an inspection before the trip.
