    I use a saddle bag with spare tubes X2 and showerproof top inside = lock
    Pump attached to bike (dont get amicro pumops weigh nothing and if you have to pump up your tyre you need to be able to inflate it to the correct pressure within an hour (you have been warned)
    Bumb bag type thing (has a proper name I am sure)multi tool , zip ties, keys, glasses and spare lenses , money, food , waterproof shorts,credit card, phone, batteries for lights in winter.
    If you break down on road bike you can be a long way from home so be prepared.

    Aye I think it’s called a fanny pack.

    I’m intrigued how your showerproof top = lock, do you tie a knot in it?

    Agreed KN, that is a lot of stuff.

    Waterproof Shorts? WTF? I know you can go pretty quick on a road bike but its not that scary! 😆

    a small pump that takes co2 canisters but can be used as a hand pump also.
    1 co2 with the foam surround so your fingers don’t freeze to it.
    1 tyre lever
    1 tube
    park patch kit
    multi tool
    1 spare chain pin.
    keys (just the 2 house keys)
    latex gloves and one of those foil wrapped handwipes you get on flights.
    mobile phone
    couple of energy bars
    £10 note

    all fit in jersey pockets. the small bits go in a soft bag that came with some glasses.

    still room in the pockets for arm warmers or more food for rides over 60miles.

    waterproof shorts? ride home fast to keep warm!

    All in jersey pockets:

    Tube
    2 Levers
    Blackburn mini pump
    Park patches (the tiny pre-glued ones)
    Phone
    Debit card with fiver round it (in sandwich bag with phone)
    Keys
    Few bars/gels
    Crank Bros multitool (usually but not always)

    And maybe armwarmers/gilet depending.

    A couple of things (pump and multitool) are a bit bigger than they need to be but I can’t really justify replacing them.
