I find that lately I'm using a backpack for cycling even though I don't particularly like wearing it. The reason is that I'm likely to be leading any bike ride my family takes, and between us we now have 6 solo bikes plus tandem and a Strider and a trailer. So it's more convenient for me to have tubes and pump and patches and tools and lock and lunch and clothes in a single bag.

How about you? If you have more than one rig - say for example a winter bike just because it's winter right now - does it have its own kit or do you transfer it from one bike to another?

I try to have dedicated gear for each bike I own, it's just easier even if it does mean more "stuff" to buy. Of course, I also have different types of bikes, and do different styles of riding, so it's kind of a necessity in a way, some things are universal, some aren't.

The really pricey things, like my Garmin, go bike to bike as needed.

I prefer the one kit per bike, but that's because all my bikes have different tube size (700x23, 29"x2.0, 26"x2.3"), so that's a lot of tube swapping. I generally run a very minimalist kit, 1 tube, 1 patch kit, 2 CO2, inflator & multi-tool, realistically most of those are consumables other than the multi-tool and inflator but that's like $20 total.

I have a road bike, FG, SSCX, and an old beater MTB. The road bike has its own saddle bag; the FG and SSCX both require a 15mm wrench, so they share the same flat kit; and the beater has super heavy tires and I never ride farther than I could walk on that bike, so I don't even bother.

I've tried to separate stuff a bit, but when it gets down to it, I normally re-use the same stuff for multiple bikes.
I.E. I'll carry 1 chain tool, 1 universal spoke wrench, tubes, and etc with me.

The biggest thing is that I usually skip the 20" tubes (trailer), and so far have been fine. And my cargo bike doesn't really match the rest of the stuff. So, I may end up getting stuck patching. Actually, I attempted to patch my folder on the bike as I couldn't find the 15mm wrench for the IGH at the time.

I have a small Camelback pack (bladder leaked, so I just have been using the pack), but I tend to overfill it, so lately I've been carrying a normal sized backpack quite a bit.

'I have a rack on a couple of bikes, but I've moved away from using panniers for normal town runs. Either pack, or trailer.

I dont have an entire setup for each bike- it'd be too expensive and most wouldnt be used often enough. For family rides, I have a rack on a couple bikes and either slap a trunk bag or pannier full of everything to those bikes, or we use the bags that come on the WeeHoo to hold any bike maintenance gear and misc stuff needed like jackets, toys, etc.
For group day and night rides, I again either use the trunk bag, a pannier, or decently sized wedge bags I got on amazon for $12 each. Fantastic quality wedge bags with expandable size and solid zippers.

I do have doubles of everything, and they are usually already on bikes, so I just have to move the pannier or trunk bag or wedge, depending on what I want to bring and what I am riding.

I have multiple pieces of bike luggage (trunk bag, panniers, frame bag, seat bag, messenger bag, backpack) that I use frequently. The choice depends partly on which bike I'm going to use, but also partly on my mood. Each of these bags has its own multitool and tire levers that are always kept in the bag. I also have dedicated inflation devices (pump or CO2) that I leave in the bags I use most frequently. The intent behind this scheme is to make sure that I have at least the bare essentials if I go out for a ride and forget to check what I'm bringing. I also have Topeak MTX racks on three of my bikes so that the trunk bag (the piece I use most often) can easily be moved between them.

Each of my bikes has its own Road Morph G pump and seat bag stocked with multi-tool, tire levers, tube or two, patch kit, spare key to my building (I leave my keys at work far too often), chap-stick, about $20 in cash, and copy of my ID and insurance card.

All three bikes have their own front blinky, the two "commuters" have their own dynamo lighting systems, but they all share the one Dinotte 300R rear blinky.

I have a complete kit for every bike:

Seat bag with tube, patch kit, tire levers, wrench (nutted IGH axles), allen keys.
Mini pump.
Lock.

Each bike has its own front and rear lights.

Likewise for my spouse's and kids' bikes.

What made me think of this last night was, I did a MTB ride home in the dark. I did have my headlight that I pulled off my usual commuter. I really wanted not just more light, but a head lamp that would go where I looked rather than just where the handlebars were pointed.
