It only takes one flat tire ten miles from home to convince the newbie cyclist to carry the tools and supplies necessary to fix that flat while out on the road. The repair kit’s fairly simple: for ordinary rides, you only need to carry a replacement tube, tire levers and a pump. If a cross-country trip will take you miles from the nearest bike shop, toss more tubes, a patch kit and a foldup tire or two in the panniers or trailer. In either case, carrying a couple of paper towels is a good idea.
(1) a tire pump or a CO2 inflation kit
(2) a replacement tube of the proper size
(3) tire levers
It's also a good idea to carry a sheet or two of paper towel and perhaps an emergency tire patch kit
