Cyclist Emergency Kit! Whats in yours?

One of the things that amaze me about some cyclist is when I see them with out a saddle bag on there bike, of course they could have all the necessary kit some where else on there person but if you are a serious cyclist it would be hard for me to believe that you have never had a puncture or any other mechanical problem whilst commuting our out riding your bike, so then when the inevitable does happen how well prepared are you. Me and my son have nearly built a whole bike with not much more than a multi tool, so if you are new to the security of a while stocked saddle bag I hope this short post will help you. Most of the this points below I have gained by either experienceing said problems or witnessing things that can go wrong. With this comprehensive list all angles should be covered.

A Wild Day at Adventure Cycling

Life at Adventure Cycling is usually pretty wild. But November 17 has been one of my most eventful days here. To wit:
  • We started major construction/destruction of our courtyard and building as we expand the west wing of our headquarters (more on this soon, including in the December/January Adventure Cyclist). Greg Siple was nearly scalded by sparks as he photographed the action.
  • Our staff is smooshed into the remainder of our old church building along with two auditors who are reviewing our 2011 financials, from a very successful year.

  • Adding even more bodies were our Membership and Marketing Assistant Amy Corbin and her month-old baby, Elliott, on their first day back in the office!
  • Our tour sign-ups zoomed past 300, with six sold-out tours, a faster clip than last year and our tours catalog just went to the printer (look for it in the next couple of weeks -- it is gorgeous).
  • We just got the new Technical Advisory on rumble strips from the Federal Highway Administration -- after much work, it looks better but we're reviewing it tomorrow with our national partners and will report about it shortly.
  • Finally, National Public Radio's popular news program, Here and Now, ran an interview with yours truly today. You can hear it here and see their web page on bike touring.
What a day!
