Baking soda and water - Make a paste with the baking soda and rub it on the sting. Sounds strange but it works. Learned it from my Grandma! (God rest her soul).

oops the idea was to carry with you on the bike. Benadryl!!!
+1,
since I most always have a water bottle, I just added a small amount of baking soda in a ziplock,and benedrylto my first aid kit.
If needed just pour a wee bit of water into the baggie and make the paste, thenapply to sting site.

I use meat tenderizer and water made into a paste. This is also good for jellyfish stings as well.

Everyone is carrying 3-6 gallons of sting neutralizer right under their nose.

Dip your hankerchief in the gas tank, dab it on the sting.

Gone instantly.

Somebody told me putting a penny on the area will help with the pain (interaction with copper?), probably an old wives tale but just thought I'd throw that in.
Got bit by a wasp last summer, and tryed the penny. I was pain free in about 30 seconds.
