Tony W said:PS -- for my standard 20 mile blast round the lanes I carry very little more
than a phone, some money (cash & plastic), a spare tube, pump & tyre levers,
water and -- err -- that's it. For cycling in town I dispense with
everything except the phone & money -- plus the stuff I need at the other
end of the journey.
I always have a monster handbag with me. For cycling, I put it into a
back-rack hooking shopping bag that I bought in the Netherlands. It's
large enough to hold everything, including maps, water bottle and my
parka if it gets too hot to wear it.
