one of the most important
 

baby wipes. a lot better than toilet paper. you can wipe face,hands and anywhere else that needs it. great for those times when you cant find a place to take a shower.

So that's your excuse!

It may seem frightfully British but I always take a propper umbrella strapped to the outside of the bike somewhere.
While travelling in Scandinavia (where it rained a lot!) when things got too bad and I was in the middle of no where I'd just sit on the bike with the brolly up...works a treat. It's also great when camping for protection from sun/rain and a must for those midle of the night excursions to the loo...if you don't have a bottle :eek3:
