Packing - Do you really need all that stuff??
I was glancing through photos of people setting off for their trips like this one:
(sorry Matt). And I just wondered, what on earth all that stuff was on that bike? And I've seen plenty more equally fully packed. I've come from a backpacking/cycle touring background and I can carry everything I need for a month or so in one 60 litre rucksack. Ok so biking gear can be bulkier but the bulky bits tend to be worn. I'm wondering, am I fortunate to be able to pack light, or am I missing something bulky that bikers need and I don't?
I ask this as a total novice to packing and going for anything more than an overnight trip, but I'm intrigued.
