My Home Away From Home

I carry my bag with me wherever I go.  It contains all th basic necessities of modern life.  At least, my modern life.  Under the cut is the contents.




My  modern life needs a book to read, my clipboard for work,. my dane county map, my Union Cab street guide, my Swiss army knife, my tire repair kit, my set of Allen wrenches, a pen, a pencil, Tic-Tacs, my bike lock & cord, my iPod, my phone, my Moleskein, spare change, a coaster I stole from Chili's with a typewriter on it, my check book, a water bottle, and a red plastic case with a Bell sticker on it which contains ibuprofen, band-aids, ointment, and anti-bacterial wipes.
This is also in conjunction with the meme I was tagged for by irnbruise.

If I had a wide-bottomed bag I would want it to look full and not 75% empty.

I was telling my best friend about this and she was like, "But once a tire is flat, it's flat." I guess she's lucky so far that she's never needed repair while on the road. And I agree about the zombie apocalypse - I need to have one of those special zombie-killing weapons in World War Z.

Ah, but once a tire is flat, you can pop it open, find the hole in the inner tube, patch it, walk yourself to the gas station and fill it back up and WHOOOOOSH! away we go. I've had to do this once and I was not prepared, thus I am now. You never know when some bastard is going to bust a beer bottle on your bike path and fuck up your day :(

See, not being a biker myself, I never would have thought of that. But that's pretty straightforward! I think I shall try to put together a little repair kit, with the wrenches, for a holiday gift. It seems practical and continues the biking theme as I gave her some (requested) athletic wear for her birthday.
