Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

But if you can all of those items in one jersey pocket, though... more power to you. Post a pic.. must be quite a bulge
Tube, CO2, multi-tool, 2 levers, a $1 bill, and a Stan's dart tool (tubeless repair thingy) all fit easily in a small under-seat type bag. Compared to a soda can, it's maybe 2/3 the height and diameter.
