2 – If your sidewall rips, or if you have larger holes in your (tubeless) tires, carry some large patches for the inside of the tire or in an emergency, use a gel wrapper (or a banknote) to temporarily patch the hole.

3 – To quickly dry your cycling shoes: take the soles out and put props of newspaper inside; you can change the paper every so often to speed up the process.

4 – When trimming cable / zip ties, use your Cable Cutter, it's always in my bag!

5 – When truing a wheel, you can temporarily fix a cable tie to your fork, and you can precisely see where adjustments are needed.
