Bike Packing TipsLine panniers with heavy duty trash bags for extra water/dust resistance
Keep weight even side to side
I like the rear to be packed with the heaviest stuff for better traction in the loose stuff
Food is the heaviest – split it up
Sort by category and keep items together in zip-lock bags-Toiletries-First aid kit-On the road food-Cooking utensils-Cooking oil, spices-etc.
Pack your bike and ride it before your tour. -Is it balanced?-Does your heel hit the rear pannier during the pedal stroke?-Is everything tight? Are there any rattles that will become very annoying?
Thanks!For being a great audience.
