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..

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

 

[salko]

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 ...

Try not to carry a backpack. Front bar bag and underseat bag keep the junk and weight off my broken/beaten shoulders...

 

[Andrie]

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.

Sorry. What is a spoke magnet for?

 

[Jackware]

Sorry. What is a spoke magnet for?

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.

 

[Andrie]

My Orbea with Bosch also has that spoke magnet. I guess I should order one and start carrying it. Thanks!

 

[Akiwi]

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 ).

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.
