I carry an extra tube or two, patch kit, pump, multi-tool, tire boot patches, tire lever (quick stik), air cartridges, etc.
food, water, etc.
always wear your helmet, and it is a good idea to carry a cell phone

to carry the least amount of weight, take a multi-tool (topeak alien rocks!), a patchless kit (small one is fine, comes with glueless patches and some co2 cartridges, co2 gun, and at least 3 tire levers. That is it. that is all i carry on the trails. You can carry some lube or extra levers or food and water but accessory wise, that is all you NEED to have with you. Just get yourself a good multi-tool (usually less than $40) to take the place of all the crap you could load your pack with. You could take another tube but unless you ride though an area with a lot of thorns, glass or very sharp rocks, i'd say you are okay. Just get good tires for your bike.

When road biking: I carry water, phone, ID and debit card, a little cash, multitool, a tube, patch kit, mini pump, tire levers, extra chain link w/ pins, some gels or other food stuff, a few ibuprofen just in case and if I don't know the route I'll take along a map in my jersey pocket.
When mountain biking I'll take all that stuff and throw some duct tape and a little first-aid kit in my camelback- just make sure you're taking the right size tube with you!

Depending how far you go and what type of riding, road or mountain. On the most part, helmet is the number one. cary an extra tube, small pump, cell phone, water bottle, wear comfort shorts or paints, breathable clothing, etc.

boom box j/k
water, food, flat repair (tire lever, extra tube, either CO2 cartridge and gun or pump, map (if new territory) multi-hex tool, phone, drivers card and medical insurance... and lastly some cash/atm card in case all else fails. I keep most of the repair stuff in a bike bag, but use one of those zip-lock sandwich bags for the phone/ID and cash. also, I stick food and stuff in my jersey pocket.
happy riding!
helmet- safety.
