Q6. What should a cycling first aid kit contain? Anything special not found in other first aid kits? What about a first aid kit for group ride organizers?

P.S. Photos of your first aid kit encouraged!

@ascentale @bobjonkman @bikenite In my experience, cycling-specific first aid usually involves allergies (insect stings/bites), road rash or objects in the eye. As such, one of the most useful things to carry, apart from antihistamines and the usual wound dressing stuff is plain water. I always take a bit more than I expect to drink, and on the rare occasion I have something sugary in one bottle, I have plain water in another.

Related tip, though not really first aid: Large, good quality sanitary towels are great for cutting up and using as dressings for oozing road rash.
