Great new gadget for cyclists

I was bored at work and ran across this on boingboing.net tonight. Basically it’s a cyclist’s toolkit in a container shaped like a water bottle. Mind you it’s not actually a water bottle, so in using this you’ll lose the ability to carry one of your water bottles (assuming you have more than one cage) but it’s still handy to have if you can still manage to carry enough water. Here’s the contents according to the description on the site:

Includes: bit screwdriver handle, 6-15mm ball wrench, 6 driver bits (slotted and Phillips), 3 hex key wrenches, 2 tire levers and tire patch kit with glue.

Not too bad and it should get you out of most jams you might encounter while riding. Obviously if you need more tools than what that offers, there’s the option of carrying an under-seat wedge pack or maybe even a backpack. Either way, it’s a nice way to ensure you don’t forget your toolkit even on short rides down to the store or whatever.
