What are your "must haves"?

[jobob]

It's interesting to see what is a "must have" for one person is something completely irrelevant to another.

Bingo!

I used to be the butt of lots of good-natured jokes among my riding friends (you know who you are ) because of all the stuff I would carry with me on rides. And the big-azz Carradice saddle bag to stuff it all in.

(Wish I could still find that photo that one of my dear friends found on the 'net and posted that made fun of my "bring everything" tendencies - it was perfect!)

This is not the same one but it's close enough ...



Over time that tendency has evolved some, but I probably still carry more stuff than many, it's part my randonneur mindset, and yep, part Linus Blanket Syndrome (too funny! too true for me! Cue the Linus & Lucy theme ...)

Interesting stuff here.
