A couple years ago, no tools π . I was commuting between home and campus just a mile away, so if something went wrong Iβd 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

Iβve found the head torch to be surprisingly helpfulβ¦ Had a puncture in the dark once, and without that I would have been there a while lol
Repair kit, poncho, cable lock, ulock, spare tube, pump, and safety glasses for night riding.
Maybe Iβm thinking of the wrong kind but why would you need safety glasses for riding at night?
I wear cycling glasses all the time when riding, for the same reason as @FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world to keep the bugs out. They also prevents my eyes from tearing up during the winter
Used to wear safety glasses, but jumped to cycling ones after a while because people would just uncomfortably stare π
