For all the pedal pushers out there that love long distance cycling. There are no gear requirements and no 'minimum distances' here.

Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Not sure tbh, I think advocates like them because they feel more secure to the bike, and weigh less. I think panniers will remain my go to for day-to-day stuff, a lot easier to just ram everything in without thinking too hard.

I'm looking a lot doing a long ride soon which has a fair bit of thin trail and single track riding so thought I'd give it a go :)
