Freedom to explore. At one with nature. Off the grid. Simple.
These are just a few of the comments I regularly hear from cyclists who have entered the world of bikepacking. Long gone are the days of “tourists” who would ridiculously load pound after pound of camping gear, clothing and personal items onto their bike to slowly, arduously, pedal to some chosen destination to sleep on the ground and painfully do so again the next day. Bikes are lighter. Camping gear is more packable and efficient. Bike bags are waterproof, rugged and creatively designed. Bikepacking is here to stay.
