I was wondering where do you keep all the stuff you need when you go out for a ride. You know, spare tube, all n one tool, cell phone, wallet, sun block, etc. Does anyone use a drawstring bag that fits in your back pocket? What do you use to keep track of all our cycling stuff?

As a mountain biker I always have a hydration pack on that holds all my stuff. Not sure what I'd do if I was a roadie..

Its actually pretty simple, you just buy a small wedge that fits under your saddle. Mine has enough room for two tires, a multi-tool, cell phone, larabar or two, a little cash, etc. Could fit a can of air in there, b I have a pump on my bike so I can have two tires instead of just one. If I can not fit it into that wedge, then I probably don't need it.

fanny packs are stylin too...
I had an under the saddle deal for my MTB for a bit. It worked okay except that the tube bounced around so much in there that it actually wore a hole through it. I guess it's smoother sailing on a road bike. Mine was also pretty small; one MTB tube, levers, CO2 inflater, and a small multi-tool was about all it would fit. Now in my hydration pack I have 2 tubes, levers, multi-tool, pump, food, phone, GPS (sometimes), wallet, car keys, patch kit, first aid kit, water, shock pump (should really take that out), and some odds and ends like zip-ties, chain link, etc.. I don't like the idea of a frame mounted pump on the MTB either, I'm afraid that I'd knock it off or keep bumping into it. That's another thing that would be less of an issue on a road bike I guess.

I've had mine bounce off a few times. Fortunately, I've always noticed pretty quickly, so minimal backtracking was necessary. I don't know why I just don't stick it in my pack.

My under the seat pack is latched in 3 places - 2 clipped teathers that go wrap around the seat supports, and then a third velco wrap that goes around the seat post. Keeps that sucker in place!. All my tools(tube, C02 inflator + spare shot, bike tool, etc) go in that pack, and then my cell phone/keys go in my hydration pack along with a map (if I need one for that days planned ride)

My under the saddle bag has a clip and velcro also. I also have a stem mounted pump bracket.
Map???:smash: Where's the adventure in that?

Most of the time, it's no map! But when ever I venture into a couple of state parks, especially 1 area that encompasses about 22,000 acres straddling the CT/RI borders, I'll toss a map in just in case I really get lost. Most of the the though if I bring a map, all it's doing is adding about 1/2ounce to the weight of my hyrdation pack

Mountain Bike: Camelbak. Everything fits in there and I have a relatively old, smaller model.
Road Bike: Saddle bag and then I keep a few things in my rear jersey pockets. Anything that goes in the jersey pockets gets ziplocked. I keep my cell phone in one back pocket, some CO2 cartridges, a chuck and a credit card, old license and some cash in another and then usually I'll throw a cliff bar in the 3rd pocket.

Two tires??? I have never heard of someone carrying tires. Perhaps he meant Two Tubes?
