Cool stuff onm commuter general - advice a go - go.
This has been proposed as a kit list for riding to work with:
Kit: Gatorskin tyres, full mudguards, two x front and rear lights, just in case one packs up. Disc brakes are very reliable even in the wet. Full finger gloves for temp 12 degrees and under. Thinsulate Gloves for 5 degrees and under. Fluorescent tops for both wet and dry conditions. Clear glasses. Helmet , neck warmer, bandana for keeping head warm and stop sweat running in eyes. Layer up with base, mid and fleeces, up to 7 layers in really cold minus 3 degree conditions. Leggins from 7 degree downwards. Clip on reflective spoke thingys for being seen on roundabouts". Co2 tyre inflator and back up refills and real pump. Spare inner tube, puncture repair kit, nut bolts bits of chain. set of allen keys, Reading glasses for close up repairs. Charged up Mobile phone. Bottle of water
I think its pretty darn comprehensive - can anyone add to it? I think it covers everything (obviously I have a mobile and back up mobile in case no.1 mobile breaks and sunnies for bright mornings with interchangeable orange lenses for dusk, so all covered there).

Bizarrely enough, on an American forum someone piosted asking what kindf of weapon other people carried.
One guy came back and started on the OP saying what a nob he was, carrying a shooter, scum of the earth, etc etc.
The OP came back say that he lived in the mountains where there are bears and bad critters. There was also a high security prison nearby where a few people had escaped over the years and these were generally Bad People. So jog on.
Although I do agree that a shooter is a bit of overkill, I was thinking maybe a jet pack (a la James Bond) or maybe a huge plastic floating ball (a la Prisoner) to get me away from Bad People?
Agree with head cam though -0 that's just looking for trouble and Bad Stuff to happen. I also tend to cry when punched repeatedly in the gooch (or run over) and that wouldn't make good viewing for anyone, let alone TDV, TDN and the Yossini who all have a suitably low opinion of the author anyway.0 -
A device for getting stones out of horses hooves is a must.. Never without mine0

Multitool with wirecutters.
Seriously.
A horse got one of its shoes trapped in some wire on a fallen fence, kept falling over (giving the rider some grief in the process).
Managed to cut the wire on both sides without it kicking me in the head (came close a few times though). Horse then ran off sans rider. Rider limped off after it without a word, although that may have been due to broken rib or two.
Happy days.0 -

What about some playing cards attached to the frame in such a way that they flip against the spokes of the back wheel so it sounds like you're riding a motorbike?0
