DaBlue's list is the most complete so far.
There are things that can fail and stop any bike a few miles from home, that still require basic tools and spares, such as headlight bulbs, tire plugs and fuses.
Rain gear, ID-blood group-medication card (to help rescue crews), flashlight and clean rags (for anything from stopping profuse bleeding to toilet use) are everyday's must-have.
For long trips I also carry a map, fuel hose and a roll of safety wire.
