Because safety is the responsibility of every mountain biker, SendHit has designed a first aid kit specifically adapted to the requirements of mountain bikers and to the most frequent trauma in mountain biking.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multitool, pump, spare tube, tubeless plugs, chain quick links, tire levers\u2026 We carry a lot of stuff to fix our bike, but what about ourselves? Only 23% of the riders carry a First Aid kit*, which means that 77% of them may not be ready to help other riders (or themselves) when accidents occur. Being self-sufficient in these situations can be crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2021\/11\/blog-sendhit-first-aid-kit-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"339\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2021\/11\/blog-sendhit-first-aid-kit-2.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/?attachment_id=339\" class=\"wp-image-339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2021\/11\/blog-sendhit-first-aid-kit-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2021\/11\/blog-sendhit-first-aid-kit-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2021\/11\/blog-sendhit-first-aid-kit-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2021\/11\/blog-sendhit-first-aid-kit-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2021\/11\/blog-sendhit-first-aid-kit-2-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2021\/11\/blog-sendhit-first-aid-kit-2-770x515.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2021\/11\/blog-sendhit-first-aid-kit-3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"340\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2021\/11\/blog-sendhit-first-aid-kit-3.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/?attachment_id=340\" class=\"wp-image-340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2021\/11\/blog-sendhit-first-aid-kit-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2021\/11\/blog-sendhit-first-aid-kit-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2021\/11\/blog-sendhit-first-aid-kit-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2021\/11\/blog-sendhit-first-aid-kit-3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2021\/11\/blog-sendhit-first-aid-kit-3-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/wind\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2021\/11\/blog-sendhit-first-aid-kit-3-770x515.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Reasons are numerous and various: too confident, too heavy\/bulky, useless when riding local trails, everyone has their excuse not to have one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SendHit analyzed each objection to provide an appropriate response:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It\u2019s light, only 100 gr<\/li><li>It\u2019s compact (16x11x3 cm) and therefore fits most hip packs and back packs<\/li><li>It\u2019s mud and water splash resistant<\/li><li>It\u2019s focused on serious injury situations because we all know that mountain bikers don&#8217;t care about minor injuries.
