A couple years ago, no tools ๐ . I was commuting between home and campus just a mile away, so if something went wrong I'd just lock the bike and come for it later.
Nowadays, just a few to do an inner tube & chain replacement, and some other small bits that might come in handy.
- 2 spanners (one adjustable)
- Backup lights & head torch
- Tyre levers & adhesive puncture patches
- Mini track-style pump
- Screwdriver for the chain enclosure
- Pliers for the rollerbrakes and internal hub gear cables

I've found the head torch to be surprisingly helpful... Had a puncture in the dark once, and without that I would have been there a while lol
Since I threw in the Tire Armor inserts I quit carrying a pump except on longer rides.
I have a wrench that fits everything except the front tire ( has extra slots ) and a wrench that fits the front tire.
I bike multi tool ( Allen wrenches, Phillips+ Flathead screwdrivers, some small mm sockets )
A battery powered pump.
Zipties and hose clamps.
I'll try to remember to take a photo, feel free to remind me. I'm sure I'm missing a few items.
