A couple years ago, no tools πŸ˜…. 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

Maybe I’m 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 😭

Ever have a bug hit you in the eye? It sucks. I just use safety glasses because they’re clear and don’t make things darker like sunglasses do.
