Bike Packing: The Ultimate Guide to Traveling Light
Bike packing merges cycling with minimalist camping. Start with a gravel bike and lightweight gear: a bivy sack, compact stove, and water filter. Pack essentials in frame bags to balance weight.
Routes like the EuroVelo 6 (3,653km from France to Romania) offer cultural immersion, while the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route challenges riders with rugged Rockies terrain. Seasoned packer Jake Richards advises: “Test your setup on weekend trips first. Learn to love instant coffee!”
The reward? Waking up to mountain sunrises and earning every mile with your own legs.
