I have everything I need to fix almost every possible necessary repair all stuffed into a single standard 24oz water bottle. On the rides where I think I may need 2 water bottles, the fix-it kit water bottle goes in the center back pocket on my jersey.
In the shoulder seasons, if rain is likely, I'll often carry a pannier with a full compliment of likely weather gear. But if I'm on one of my non-rack equipped bikes, I'll wear long sleeves and layers. If I get too warm, I'll remove the jacket & tie it around the stem and the tops of the handlebar.
I've even been accused of wearing the occasional backpack. But, that's never been independently confirmed.
Am I the over-prepper or the no-prepper?
