Paranoid me always carry two spare tubes, a patch kit and a puncture repair spray (it's supposed to inject a product that reinflates the tyre immediately, allowing me to keep riding and then go home without having to repair or remplace the tube, but since I've never had the opportunity to use it I can't tell if it's really effective).
