Bikepacking the Camino
As the Camino is a mix of off-road trails and paved riding, I wanted to try a bicycle travel setup different than traditional racks and panniers.
With a lot of momentum in the bike packing world, I’ve opted for the standard setup of seat pack, frame bag and handlebar bags, which avoid the need to have racks and panniers. Advantages include saving weight (no racks), as well as keeping the bike to a narrow profile, helping cut through head winds, navigate single track trails (and crowed paths of walkers), as well as keeping the weight of the bike closer to the center to improve maneuvering the bike.
