What do you EDC urbanically? (hexbear.net)

So much of EDC seems to be centered around either surviving alone in the woods for days or alternatively using your tactical pen to stab a terrorist to death and John McClane the building. I'm John Suburban and my EDC includes a gun, a ferrorod and a tacpen with built in seatbelt slicer and window breaker (none of which I ever trained to use, but am assured will use competently after a flip over car crash into a body of water).

Which is a shame, because I think EDC stuff is cool. Little nifty tools! What do the denizens of this here website chapo.chat like for non chud EDC applications?

I'll start off with some favourites,

a small AA-powered flashlight by EOLite (self-explanatory I think)
a Gerber Dime (basically one of those small swiss army knives but the pliers are a nice touch for a lot of things, like not touching the garbage juice)
a keychain presta-to-schrader adapter to reinflate my bicycle tyres at any given gas station, should the need arise

Currently also building a bicycle EDC-Pouch where space isn't limited to pocket size, would love to hear what other people use.

Real answer is that I've got a really cool keychain that I can spin around my finger for fidgeting. I've got a sort of multi-tool metal thing that fits in my wallet, which isn't good for anything, but it's fine enough for most things. A bottleopener in my keychain (for beers). A diary, a calender (I forget to use the phone one) whatever book I'm not reading at the moment, but feel like I should be. Water in a big bottle, but I just lost my big water bottle, so now I'm drinking out of random regular bottles like a peasant. Sometimes a camera if I'm feeling frisky.
It's getting to the point where you can't trust the weather, so I'll put a rain parka in my backpack and then forget I have it when it's raining.
