Over the last year I have amassed quite an array of kit to facilitate my biking...ranging from cooling devices to noise reduction, cleaning to maintenance. Each piece has been carefully selected for its practicality, affordability, and usually, mult-functionality.
I got some pretty cool canisters, made by North Face, so that distinct categories could be kept separate from one another and easy to pull out of a pannier to either use, or take with me if I choose to ditch the luggage for a day or two.
