Handy thing to have if you come off you're bike and can't make it back to civilisation and managed to get a message to someone. I have one of these [url= http://www.adventuremedicalkits.com/product.php?product=144&catname=Essentials&prodname=Heatsheets® Emergency Bivvy]Emergency Bivvy[/url] . Tiny little thing, hardly takes up space and weighs next to nowt.
Thats the one, thanks, for some reason cant get urls button to go today. Better than carrying one of those big orange poly bags about.

The amount of stuff people carry always amazes me. I don't use a hyudration pack.
Bottle on the bike, carry tube, pump, puncture kit, multitool, tiewraps and thats it.
Why spend hundreds making your bike light and then carry kilos of stuff around - spare brake pads? Hand cleaner? Pliers? WTF for!
multi tool , spare innertubes. pump. waterproof jacket ,sunglasses, 2 pairs gloves, mars bar, water, tyre levers, and my whippet ...
ill happily carry 100g of hand cleaner if it means my the feacal matter is removed from my hands
Forgot the sanigel - post trailside fix cleaning.
Seem to have a lot of stuff - perhaps its time to go back to the 80s when a flouro green zefal, marsbar and 500ml of water did for everything.

You just never know. This was twenty years ago in the Cairngorms. Three of us rode ten miles or more to get help for a mate with a suspected broken ankle. We just made it out before darkness fell. Dont ever count on a mobile signal for a GPS or phone.
currently, one punctured inner tube, trail map for nant y arian, a chain link, some tin foil, and a banana skin. oh and one tyre lever. maybe i need a clear out...
