There is nothing worse than heading out on your bike to remember when you are 20 miles away from home that your spare inner tube is still on your bench with your phone and money, so no coffee stop for you and if you get a puncture you will not be able to replace the tube or phone your other half or parents to pick you up.
Being prepared before every ride is good practice and helps to eliminate the chances of things going wrong, but if they do go wrong if you are prepared then the issue is quickly resolved and you are back on the road again.
