Anyone setting out on a major bike tour, especially in the mountains, should always have a first aid kit in their luggage. Of course, one hopes never to need bandages or a rescue blanket, but when it really comes down to it, a first aid kit is more than welcome. In addition to individual emergency gear such as a rescue blanket and compress, we particularly recommend a compact emergency kit. Well packed, equipped with a rescue blanket, bandages, disinfectant, etc., you have the complete safety package at hand and can start your tour with a clear head.
