Daily Rider in Tucson, Arizona

I do not drive cars; I only ride motorcycles. Therefore, my "EDC" kit must necessarily include gear specific to my normal method of transportation. I have had the same basic system for nearly 25 years, albeit things like cellphones and hand sanitizer were absent decades ago. Occasionally, items come and go (e.g., broken pocket mirrors, I don't smoke cigarettes regularly anymore, PD rigs & speedloaders & mags change with the times, although the Gerber E-Z Out has stood tall for decades...). For a few years I was relegated to the public bus system, so I carried a serious backpack with a whole hella lotta more stuff in it... camping & survival gear. Now I just pack a Go Bag at home. I live in a state that has a fair amount of Constitutionally-protected freedom-- as opposed to say, California, where the US Constitution is heeded arbitrarily, with the whimsy of myopic cowardly nannies ruling any given day with disdain & mistrust for our fellow citizens-- and thus I truly hope my "EDC" reflects the responsibility of one who values his freedom and respects the nature of rationality & reality. * The essential Everyday item missing here is my Kevlar Sliders pants (motorcycle pants designed to look like casual wear). I discuss it in the section about my cycle jacket. *
