..you never know when you will meet one of those "hot sexxy female mtb'rs on the trail!???. (Not that it's happened yet...)
But seriously, if you have ever seen Viagra, you would know that it doesn't look like that...so ...good for you???? that you don't need it!?
Actually... It's Paracetamol..

Sandwiches, crisps, a creme egg, and 3 liters of ice cold water. The wife is on speed dial to pick me up, in case of a breakdown! :D

You forgot the flares?



This got me thinking - WTF do I really need if it's only a one battery ride, so my new low volume bum bag contains;

330mm drink
chocy bar or similar
Small combo and chain tool
Spoke magnet
Tyre levers
Small pump
Phone

In a small frame top bag

Innertube
Tubeless repair kit
Chain quick link

In a trouser pocket or wearing

Lightweight windproof

I try to always have a small medical kit now after a bad experience where I didn't have anything.

Medical kit is essential! Less than a week ago I was on a ride with 3 other buddies and one of them badly ripped his finger on a branch, I was the only one with the medical kit so it ended quite well ...

Me too trying to not carry backpack. I ordered one up EDC as my tool kit, and bring 33oz (about 1 liter), strap my spare tube on the tube, just ordered a cool looking saddle bag (cyckit) for minimal first aid and whatever else, and I think I can ride 20-22 miles before start thinking of more water.

Sounds sensible - what do you use/recommend?
I got something like this. and added an emergency blanket.
But I think a minimum of a couple of sterile pads, crape bandages and sticky tape would be good.
Add a couple of plasters. (Preferably hello kitty ones ;) ).

Our Haibikes use a spoke magnet to tell the system that the wheel is rotating and if it comes loose and drops off the motor wont work.

I just got one of those for my kit too. I always had one of those magnets that came with the old speedos in my emergency kit, but I notice the new magnet is quite a bit stronger.
