bag reqs.

i've penned down a list of things that would go into a bike bag . . . chex . . . add . .

1. spares, tools, oil, petrol, tube
2. sleeping bag, ground sheet, tent
3. soap, hand towel, brush, paste, cream
4. clothes (undies, sox, t shirts, pans, shorts, towel, jacket, floaters, gloves, muffler)
5. camera, film, batteries, film
6. walkman/mp3 player, goggles (day and night)
7. swiss army knife
8. chocolate, chikki, biscuts, preserves, coffe mix, soups mix . . .
9. books, notebook, sketh book
10. maps
11. pen, pencil, cutter, blades

the idea is to have the large gear strapped directly to the bike and two bags which go on each side of the bike holding the rest of the stuff! i had thought that both the bags should combine to make one rucksack, but asim says that when you are leaving your bike, it makes sense to leave like half your stuff anyway, so maybe it makes more sense to just have one of the two as a ruck sack . . . who ever had a puncture while walking . . ?

i'm working on some drawings which i shall scan and upload . . .
cheers
