Spares: what you should carry with you all the time.

Just a quick note,  Remember to carry a spare headlight bulb with you on a trip. The last thing you need is trying to creep home after dark without a headlight.  You should learn how to replace your headlight bulb, and then do it again at home one night with all the outside lights turned off.  To make it more realistic, wait for a thunderstorm to try this.   Because it will always seem that when you need to replace your headlight, it will be dark out, and it will start to rain.

Basically do the procedure several times so that you know how to do it by heart and not have to look up a set of instructions on how to change it.  You do have a very small flashlight to help you see at night if you have to fix your bike or find your keys you dropped.... Right?

I also suggest carrying a spare key,  IF you ever lose the bike key, it will be at the worst possible time.  Having a spare on you will eliminate the panic and the possibility of being stranded.
