10 Things EVERY Cyclist Should Own

one thing a cyclist does not need is tattoos , in fact nobody needs them

A bike

"These things aren't that accurate, but they're OK" he says while holding and tapping on a superpista

Nice list.
I’d add sunscreen and a helmet

The glasses aren't made from plastic lmao are polycarbonate

Are you able to provide links to the items you mentioned in your video?

My world changed after I bought my Park bicycle stand. Super handy.

Thank you.

Missing one - better own a bicycle, else how are you going to be a cyclist? ;-) Jking

More seriously, I'm missing one - I have all those items but the conventional repair stand. I flip my bike upside down, but I have moved up from what I used to do (which was to use towels to protect bars, seat, etc) - I have small 3D printed stands that protect bits when the bike is upside down (small, light weight, and (bonus) I can put in my hydration pack and take with me).

Bug nets

I recommend a bike. Every cyclist should own a bike.

Hey cute, try to speak a bit slowly, cause french cyclist (foreign cyclists) try to understand your cool videos !

Or just go tubeless.

Hèhè, "Stick 'em where the hole is 😏"

I’m surprised a bike isn’t on the list.

Number one: a bike

two tubes because double punctures is a thing...

the pun

I carry a small pair of pliers. This is useful for pulling on broken cables and for twisting things such as corroded tire valve stem lock nuts (if you can't undo them with your fingers, then you can't change the inner tube). Also, I carry spare cables. It's because I ride on mountain roads far away from town.

I call triple a

I carry Paul Masson lol 😂

in germany, they sometimes sell a decent workstand at aldi/lidl for about 25€. I've never owned a expensive, professional one, but the aldi one is really sturdy and holds the bike quite well. I can totally recommend it to any hobbyist.

I bought a good track pump years ago it's still going strong

Helmet!

Honestly my max ride has only been 40miles total and am not really that far from home so most of that stuff would be useless for me, but the stand I bought is great and a god send

Number 1 is very important and i cant stress this enough....

A bike

"10 things every covid cyclist needs until they inevitably sell there bikes once lockdown is over because the sport is boring."

Totally agree regarding plastic glasses with clear lens. Especially in the summer to keep the bugs from flying into your eyes. Theres been a couple of times also over like 20 years where a stone kicked up by a car hit my glasses.

In addition to the things you mentioned i've also carried in my repair kit:
- couple of zip ties
- couple feet of electrical tape
- tire levers
- spoke tool

Please no with the clamp bike repair stand

Majority of bikes are carbon. No clamps

A tyre glide and a torque spanner, and these days, a camera.

I can remember trying to mend an inner tube 10 minutes before I was due to leave for work. The patch didnt stick. Because I was a bit of a maniac at that age I simply bound the patch on with cellotape,pumped the tyre up and off to work. It got me to work and back(9miles),but fortunately I was on a cycle path rather than a road...so yes,definitely a spare tube!!!

All that plus those little quick chain link things.

Converter to allow garage pumps to be used it also worth carrying.

Tubularless guys? 😂

Getting a mini pump with a hose is the go to.

This all seems really nice thing is i cant even change my inner tube so theres no point in buying all this

Lazy people don't get up at 4 am and cycle 100km. CO2 isn't lazy, it's quick.

I kind of miss another item here. Bicycle.

I just ordered like 30 different items, the last thing I wanted to see what this video 🙈

10 Things to have whilst on a bike ride.

1. A decent Gold or Diamond rated BIKE LOCK
2. Patch repair kit (with chalk in case you need to true a wheel in a hurry) and spare Tube(s)
3. Pump with Presta to Schrader adaptor or vice versa.
4. Multi tool with chain splitter and spoke key.
5. Shifting spanner / crescent wrench (quick release axles are handy for getting wheels stolen quickly so don't use them!) Handy for adjusting mudguards/fenders and taking the rear wheel off.
6. Rear rack with a decent bike bag which carries this list.
7. Lights front and rear. Spare batteries.
8. Packaway rain jacket, gloves and woolly hat. (Just in case.)
9. Cheap cell phone and a map (paper) in case your phone is kaput.
10. Bike Bottle cage(s) A large refilled lucozade bottle does the trick if you don't want to splurge on a fancy bike bottle. Some energy/protein/chocolate bars just in case.

10 Things every cyclist should own.

1. Tubes, patch repair kit, spare tyre(s) in case of major damage.
2. Track pump with gauge.
3. Tools for maintenance/repair
4. Oil, degreaser, chain cleaner, grease, GT85, WD40 (in a pinch as it tends to accumulate a lot of muck). Sponges, rags, bucket, manual pump pressure washer, sundries for cleaning (cotton balls with some alcohol to clean the brake rims.).
5. Spare cables, ferrules, nuts, bolts, brake pads, brake rotors anything that may need to be replaced which you can do so competently with correct due diligence.
6. A bike work/repair stand.
7. The ability and know how to perform the basic maintenance of a bicycle.
8. A location with enough space which you can do so at home.
9. Time to do such repairs/maintenance.
10. In the absence of any of the items (1-9) then knowing a reputable and trusted local bike shop is a must.

Pack your tubes in a plastic zip-lock snack bag. When you place your tube inside, COVER IT WITH BABY POWDER - either talc or corn starch. It will work itself around to cover all the surfaces after a while - or work it around yourself so that all surfaces are lightly covered. You'll cut down on your flats by 50 - 100% because almost all flats are pinch flats. Sure, there are some puncture flats, but punctures and cuts are much more rare. If you try powdering your tubes before installing them, you'll absolutely notice the difference. That goes for any time you're putting a new tire on or just repairing. I haven't had a flat in literally, YEARS (and thousands of miles.)

Water flask

Little thing to add about the chain lube: wet chain lube will eventually attract more dirt and crap sticking onto the chain which will create the typical black grinding paste eating slowly through your components. So wax is not just faster, its also cleaner and component friendly, because dirt wont stick to it a lot. A trick I learned from my bike shop: instead of just one, prepare 3 chains simultaneously, so in total that should last for about 600-900 km. And hey, besides some easy brushing no extensive drivetrain cleaning sessions anymore! :)

Top item is a good helmet... Should go without saying but I see way too many people without it.

A basic chain checker! Unior or park make really good cheap chain checkers. So many cyclists wait until their bike stops going forwards before getting it serviced. By that point it's a full overhaul and a lot of money wasted on chainrings and cassettes. As soon as that sucker hits 0.5% get it down to your LBS or attempt a chain swap yourself if you're confident, but to be honest if you've found the information in this video to be informative then I'd suggest the shop being your only port of call

Can’t believe a bike wasn’t on the list

1: a helmet!

With the Rema cement, squeeze out all the air in the tube after each use to keep it from drying out.

Xanadu,

Im just starting out and i love this! thanks for the tips!
