How to Pack for a Bicycle Tour - My Complete Gear List

Описание: One of the most intimidating parts of bicycle touring is knowing what to pack. It’s not uncommon to worry about overpacking, under packing, or just plain forgetting important stuff to pack. And probably the most common questions we get on our channel is “When are you going to do a video showing what to pack on a bicycle tour?” This video takes you through the what, the how and the why of efficiently packing those panniers for a successful bicycle tour.
