The anti-germ stuff.

I also add kleenex (doubles as toilet paper) and a small packet of chamois butter--just in case.

And after 3 bee stings of progressing reaction, I now also don't leave the house without oral Bendadryl and an Epi-pen in my bag....hope never to need them. I've only been stung 4 times...3 times while riding my bike and twice last year. Go figure.

For a ride under 10 miles:

Helmet always, bike lock is always on seat post
Water
Keys
Mobile
Tissue tucked somewhere
Chewing gum, hate riding without it, it's the only time I really eat it

Clock

I always have my camera. You never know when you're going to find interesting road kill.

Adding to Becky's list: a pocket pack of tissues and a small bottle of Purell. And band-aids in assorted sizes.
