What's in your bike pack?

The other day someone asked what comprised a decent first aid kit. As I looked over what my bike first aid kit contained, I was thinking about what was in my pack. I realized I had gone through a lot of trial and error over many years for my current inventory of gear.

Essentials
- Rain gear, better safe than sorry!
- Multi tool with a chain tool is a must
- Chain lube, even sunscreen and lip balm will suffice
- Wets ones or baby wipes, great for cleaning greasy or dirty hands
- Spare tube, tire lever, tire boot and tire pump
- Balaclava
- Energy bar
- Spare socks
- Chain quick connect
- First aid kit
- Emergency rear derailleur hanger

My first aid kit might seem like overkill, but I have been around a couple of accidents (sometimes myself), and wound management and comfort are paramount in many situations.
