+1. There are a few things i never ride without. I always have my tailbag when i am riding and it consists of the below necessities no matter how near or far i am riding.
1. First Aid kit.
2. Tire Repair kit which consists of the required tools to remove the nail and fix the puncture strip
3. Tire pressure gauge
4. Water
5. smokes and breath mints
6. Lots of tissues to clean my visor when it gets plastered with bugs and insects
7. Hand sanitizer
I have a puncture each in my front and rear tire. Didn't realize how long those nails were in the tire until i was washing the bike and cleaning the wheels. They weren't bleeding air so i was fine. The tire repair kit helped in getting the nail off and sealing the hole with a puncture repair strip in less than 5 mins. Checked pressure after a few miles and she's all good.
