Deconstruct my on bike gear (10/29/23 Sun)
(see first Deconstuct post for introduction)
The gear listed here stays on the bike all of the time. It provides everything necessary to fix most bike problems and keep my body warm and dry.
The items on the seat are readily accessible upon start of rain. Under the seat is mostly fix it gear. The top box has too much stuff in it, and far to heavy. I don't frequently use all of it, but I sure would miss many items if I got myself into some highly likely road/trail trouble.
