Thanks to my source (http://www.bikewebsite.com/trivia.htm) I found something interesting about biking.

The longest tandem or “bicycle built for two” ever made was actually for thirty-five. It is almost 67 feet long and weighs about as much as a Volkswagen.

You don’t go mountain biking without bringing all the essential things that you need for the long travel. But of course, you wouldn’t be off riding your bike with too much to bring!

1. Back pack 
2. Handy Waterproof
3. Water  and Food. At least 2 liters of water, sandwiches and energy bars.
4. Pump – take a good one with you, as the small mini pumps are a waste of time and money
5. Tools in case of emergency repair. This includes tire levers ,two small inner tubes and  a felt tip pen on inner tubes, a piece of medium emery paper about 3 inches long and an inch wide,a cut up tube of Crest for pinch punctures or to use as a tire boot, a carpet needle, a card of linen thread to repair torn tires, a good chain splitter, black pins,a set of allen wrenches, a small screwdriver, a spokey spoke key.
6. A first aid kit that includes an elastic bandage.
7.  Some lunch and phone money.
