This page consists of pictures of the various tools and accessories that I use for bike riding.
My Eurohike bag is a fairly new purchase; I didn't bother with a Camelbak, because of an experience with a hydration bag I got free with a subscription to MBR magazine - what a nightmare! I only used that once or twice, and apart from that I'd mainly just used a standard Nike backpack. I decided I needed a bag just to use for riding, so thought I'd have a look to see what the local camping shop had to offer.
This bag cost £10, and whilst nothing special, certainly does the job; the main benefits over a standard backpack are the wider straps, and the cool plastic port in the side, through which you can thread headphones, from the MP3 player holder in the main compartment.
A complete coincidence, but the secondary compartment has some very handily shaped mini compartments which perfectly fit numerous tools of mine.
Some of the images are not perfect thumbnails of the full size version; in some cases their dimensions did not lend themselves well to having thumbnails made in the correct dimensions - so I've used a little artistic license in their cropping ; )
1. This is the Eurohike backpack that I use for riding..

2. This is the view from the rear - nice padded straps, complete with mobile holder pocket.
|
3. This is the internal pocket arrangement in the secondary compartment.
|
4. This is a view of the mp3 player holder, and, by my thumb, the hole where the headphones come out.. very cool (if you're riding on your own.. I tend to use it when I'm riding to wherever I'm meeting my riding buddies.

5. A view of the secondary compartment, populated with the tools that I take riding on a regular basis. These include shock pump, pedal spanner, puncture repair kit, spoke tool, Schrader pump adapter for biking buddies (my bike has Presta valves), allen key multi-tool, chain link extractor.
|
6. This is an enlargement of the chain link extractor tool; I have masking-taped some spare Shimano chain pins to it.

7. This is my Bikehut shock pump.

8. This is all of my tools together.
