Cycling Checklists
Never leave the tube, the pump or the puffy behind again. Pick your kind of ride, dial in the distance, elevation and days, and get a complete checklist built for exactly that trip — from a fast road loop to a loaded bikepacking tour.
Road
Fast, light, tarmac miles
Skinny tyres and smooth pavement. Pack light but never skip the essentials — a stranded roadie is a long walk from home.
Gravel
Backroads, self-supported
Mixed surfaces and remote roads mean fewer bail-out options. Carry what you need to fix a bigger problem and get yourself home.
Mountain
Technical trail & descents
Rough, remote and hard on the bike and body. Protection and self-rescue matter more than saving grams.
Bikepacking
Multi-day, fully loaded
You're carrying your trip on the bike. Everything below scales with the number of days — dial the days up to unlock sleep, cooking and resupply.

Checklist FAQ
- How do the dynamic cycling checklists work?
- Pick your discipline — road, gravel, mountain or bikepacking — then set the distance, elevation gain and number of days for your ride. The checklist rebuilds itself: longer, hillier or multi-day trips automatically add the extra spares, food, layers and camping gear you'll need.
- What should I always carry on a bike ride?
- At a minimum: a helmet, front and rear lights, a spare tube or plug kit, tyre levers, a pump or CO₂, a multi-tool, water, food, ID with an emergency contact, and a phone. These essentials are flagged on every checklist regardless of ride length.
- What's different about a bikepacking checklist?
- Bikepacking is self-supported and multi-day, so on top of the riding essentials you carry sleep, shelter, cooking and water-treatment systems, more spares, and navigation and charging that can survive days off-grid. Increase the 'days' slider to unlock those sections.
- Can I save or print my checklist?
- Yes. Your ride settings and everything you've ticked off are saved in your browser, so the list is still there when you come back. Use 'Print / save PDF' to take a hard copy or a phone-friendly PDF on the road.
