What tools (if any) do you carry on your rides? (lemmy.one)

A couple years ago, no tools 😅. 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

Most of the time I'm riding at a local bike park. A lot of kids have bikes that need basic maintenance and they have nobody to help. I started to bring an air pump, glueless patch kit, tire tools, a 15mm wrench, adjustable wrench, allen key set Park chain cleaner and some good chain lube.
