bikepacking

Bikepacking is a form of adventure cycling that involves traveling long distances on a bicycle while carrying lightweight gear and essentials on the bike itself. It combines elements of traditional cycling and backpacking, allowing riders to explore remote landscapes, camp overnight, and enjoy a self-sufficient journey. The focus is on versatility, minimizing gear weight, and accessing off-the-beaten-path routes. Bikepacking typically uses specialized bags attached to the frame, handlebars, and seat post, enabling rider flexibility and comfort. It appeals to those seeking adventure, independence, and a closer connection to nature through extended cycling expeditions.
