Give bikepacking a try: These items will get you started (it takes less than you think)
Don’t let bikepacking be that thing that you plan to try someday. Now is the time! Heading out for an overnight mountain bike ride is easier than you think, and you probably already have most of the gear you need. Fill in the gaps with these hand-selected items that bikepackers love, from bags and racks to clothing and electronics. The great thing is that you can use most of this gear off the bike and for regular rides too.
