A bike multitool is essential. Some have tire levers attached.

Currently i'm pack it with all this essential items but each CO2 is for a single wheel, that sucks. I want to get an Iphone or Ipod touch so i can put the GPS navigation in my bike so i don't get lost if im super far from home.

A few days ago I planned on going for a 20 mile ride, 10 miles out and 10 miles back. At 8 miles out I popped a tire, now usually on my longer rides i bring a water pack, cellphone and wallet but after having to run 8 miles rolling my bike with a flat I have decided to start bringing more stuff like tire levers (picking some up tomorrow), spare tubes and co2 canisters. Thanks for your informative and helpful videos!

Dang, Jill. Time to upgrade to a smart phone. Don't forget raw ground beef. It fits nicely in the saddle bag and I never leave home without it.

To the whole video: No shit

very minimalistic.

Inbus keys - lot's of uses and adjustments

I carry a chain tool (happens to break, I join it if it's possible or take two links out and i'm ready to go on the small gears.)

Screwdrivers, flat and crosshead (i carry two flat for use as levers as well, with some experience it's done very easy with no risk)

All these can be contained in a multitool

spoke wrench (if you know how to use it)

two spare tubes, a spare fold-able tire

first aid kit

For long journeys

How about a tire pressure gauge?
