Dear TFP Members,
Stop carrying things in your back pockets before you end up with a permanent back injury like me. Sincerely, MSD Work keys in front right, iPod in front left, wallet in left inside of coat, cell phone and pen/usb drive/spy camera in breast pocket of coat. Sometimes the iPod goes in the inside right coat pocket, and sometimes the phone goes in the left pants pocket. I'm not sure why, but for the past week or so I've had an old 25 amp screw-in fuse from the days before circuit breakers in my coat pocket. |

i try not to carry too much around since im the type that gets paranoid about get mugged. even tho the area around here is somewhat safe despite its looks (sacramento). it also depends on where im going like to school or church or if im just hanging out with friends.
but i usually bring the essentials of my cell phone or keys. if im just going next door or to my badminton class at school, i leave my wallet at home. i also carry an ipod around when im walking to school. but yeah, i had my stuff stolen from me before and now i am a bit more possessive about my things.

Who's nerdier? The guy who knows what a d20 is or the guys who always has a die in his pocket?

Way too much, obviously.
In my pockets... Bike lock keys and my RoadID on the second keychain. With and/or on my bike... Saddle bag contains extra shoe cleats (in the plastic bag), Swiss Army Mechanic, cycling multitool, drink mix packets, a wire tie and a pump adapter. In my bag... Different SA knife in this photo, the Hercules lockblade. The bag's big enough and has enough compartments to leave plenty of room for other stuff when needed (groceries, change of clothes, bike locks, lunch, etc.). Again, way, way too much crap. Photos were taken with my work-issued iPhone. I'd have included my personal phone in with the rest, but it's broken in two and awaiting replacement.

Ya, never know when the situation to play might present itself
Though I'm not a biker I am very impressed at the capabilites of your everyday carry system. It apparently has safety equipment, repair equipment, and room for everyday items whether it be job or classroom related. I refer to them as 'systems' because I feel what you have with you not only shows what you are prepared for and capable of handling, but also defines you to some extent. I'm a business man who travels often at night through neighborhoods and situations I'd rather not be in. So, I guess my EDC system does represent me.

I also don't like to mess around with where I set everything down at the end of the day. With my crappy sleeping habits, I depend on knowing exactly where it is when I'm half awake the next morning so I won't forget anything. I've already been through leaving the keys to my locks at home, riding to the station, discovering they weren't there and having to ride all the way back home. I don't want to do it again. I wouldn't doubt that it defines me pretty well, for better or for worse. The bag, the helmet, the shoes and the ridiculous outfit all have me standing out from everyone else commuting to work. I think the regulars are used to it by now.
