Have you ever used a multi-tool mid ride (road cycling)?

The idea that the answer would be “no” is kinda mind boggling to me. Then again I build my own bikes and even wheels, so I’m clearly far onto the “tinkerer” end of the spectrum.

My Soloist came with a lever-style thru axle where the lever can be pulled out and has a 4mm and 5mm Allen on it. Handy for saddle/stem adjustment. But with the array of Allen and Torx heads on a modern bike, no way I’m ever riding without a solid multitool.
