Items
to Take on a Trip
The following lists
are provided by Ralph Schroeder
Soon many of our members will be departing on long trips such as to Wing
Ding. During these trips we may have unanticipated mechanical or
electrical problems happen for which we may not be prepared.
This list of items,
which if carried, can make you more prepared if you should encounter the
unexpected in route. The list is divided into Bike related items
and trailer related items, naturally many of the items can be used for
both. There is also a list of safety and miscellaneous items.
We hope that these
lists will help you somewhat during your pre-trip planning. Please
note that most of the items are small so do not utilize a lot of space.
