£1.50 in change
1 x Spare Tube
3 x Tyre Lever

All in a polythene bag in my back pocket.

I travel light, but I do say a prayer to every known diety and light a candle if the road is moist.  ;D

cycled with the wife to her work this morning and she left without her trouser clip
and her trousers where catching the chain.Lucky I had an elastic band handy,put it on top of her trousers and it sorted the problem.So maybe elastic bands are a handy thing to carry to get you out of trouble

One of the things I love about this bike is it's so simple I feel I don't need much compared to my other bike:

In a small seat bag: 
Spare tube
One tire lever
CO2 inflator w 2 cartridges.
5mm hex wrench. I love that this covers all the main bolts (except the seat tilt)
half a Park Tool tire boot.
If I'm going out of cell phone range I'd probably add an instant patch kit.
