Cycle touring kit list
For several years I have been embarking on cycling adventures. Over time I have forgotten many important items. I’m almost certain that on your own adventures you may well have done the same.
I have put together a list of essential items that I take with me each and every time I go on a cycling trip.
Some of the items may not be applicable for every environment but they serve as a reminder and this will give you that split second to consider if it is something you will need. This process it far better than just completely forgetting an item without any thought or consideration.
The list is not exhaustive and no double I will add to it as other items spring to mind. It will serves as a starting point for useful equipment when you plan your next trip. Some of these items I want to expand on in future posts. Items that you take in a first aid kit or maintenance kit are personal to each traveler but there are some core items we should all be taking with us.
