Go Bikepacking
Riding a bicycle for a stroll is one of the best ways to quickly get to know an unfamiliar city, because you can use multiple senses to capture the details of the city simultaneously. The wind blowing in the face, the colors of the buildings, the pace of people's lives, the most down-to-earth snacks, and so on are all easily captured. Also, it is faster than walking, while sitting in a car doesn't seem to feel so authentic.
In our traditional thinking, long-distance cycling is nothing more than putting luggage on the bike, slowly cycling and taking photos of various cities and villages. But currently, this outdoor sport has undergone significant changes in its overall appearance and concept. Luggage bags are no longer placed on wheels with the help of additional shelves, but are fully secured using existing frames, seat tubes, and handlebars through Velcro straps and others. The center of gravity is moved up and centered as a whole, and the volume of each bag is relatively reduced.
In fact, the core point of bikepacking is not the bags that "grow" on the frame. Its ultimate essence is to simplify transportation. Firstly, the vehicle should be light, and secondly, the luggage and luggage bags should be light (giving up some once considered precious accompanying items is also inevitable). Therefore, we abandon the previously considered more stable form of shelves and backpacks, and switch to the concept of directly fitting the frame. Only in this way can we experience the joy of cycling in more road conditions with ease.
Moreover, the bikepacking concept is applicable to almost all types of vehicles. If the entire journey is on unpaved mountains, it is inevitable to ride a larger weight of fat tire mountain bikes. Therefore, the application of bikepacking in such situations is even more urgent. Finally, the plasticity of the bikepacking concept is relatively strong, as people can freely combine the frame and the bags on the frame according to the travel length.
