    First Aid kit on your bike?

    do you carry any first aid supplies on your bike? Group Health gives out "Ouch Pouches" at biking and tri events here in the Seattle area, but I'm thinking about more involved kits like this http://www.gutz.com/ems/products/GUT....responder.pdf

    And for those of us who know CPR, do you carry a resuscitation mask or barrier mask on the bike?

    I've usually got a basic "ouch" kit and a pocket mask/gloves with me, I keep a more fully stocked kit in my vehicle.

    Nothing on my bike except Motrin. I've got a crash pack, first aid kit, and space blanket in the Suby when I drive SAG. The crash pack would fit in my banana bag though, so maybe I'll transfer it...if I ever manage to get my a$$ on the bike again.

    Never thought about it, but now that you mention it, I think the first-aid kit I carry in my kayak bag would fit in my saddle bag.

    On a ride I went on recently, they handed out the coolest little first aid kits. They contained an antibiotic ointment a few bandades and some gauze and tape. Not much...but enough to cover a scrape or two. I also always carry a bandana (which matches my jersey du jour, of course!!) which acts as a sweat catcher and which could be used to wrap around a serious wound should I get unlucky and crash and burn. I wear it wrapped around my wrist where I can get at it in a hurry.

    I'm busy catching up with this forum...have been in an Elderhostel in Daytona Beach for a week. I did some biking over there near Ponce Inlet....a sleepy little town on a peninsula with great bike paths.

    These guys seem to have the best price for CPR masks.
