Bike Touring & Bikepacking List Breakdowns - Here We Go!

Hey everyone! After pursuing my first tour back in 2014 I made a decision to stay on my bike, share stories and become fully involved in the bicycle touring the community and continue to do bike trips in the U.S. This led me to push the limit even further as I discovered bikepacking where I fell in love with being in the woods, and remote areas around the world. I run a YouTube channel and site called Manual Pedal where I share my travel stories. I've gotten a lot of questions about my gear setups and I wanted to share some thoughts on how to pack for short and extended bicycle touring trips and bikepacking trips that may assist someone who is just getting started in this mellow extreme sport. Would love for you all to tune in here for the read Bicycle Touring and Bikepacking List Breakdown - How To Pack


I believe this will be able to get you started where you want to be. I also dropped some images of my setups over the years from fully loaded tours to ultra light setups. Would love for you all to share your packing setups and shed some light here to also help people getting started with this.
