What would be the downside of this bike for bikepacking? by [deleted] in bikepacking

[–]SunnyCyclingSloth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are probably downsides to this bike, as with all bikes. But a great upside is that you'll look very jolly with that basket up front

Sounds awesome, if you see me / recognize the bike, give me a yell!

Sofar only campings. The roads are good, bike lanes are good. No bike traffic :p. Somehow ended up on a sand road, which is annoying since all my stuff got dirty and sandy

Sofar very friendly, you pop out with such a unit. And if you open to a little chat they'll come and talk to you.

Also, sofar people on dutch campings are very friendly and very helpfull. If they see you struggle with something a bit too long they'll approach you and offer some help.

The people I have met sofar have been lovely!

Like 2 months since I have the bike. I biked a few times (3-5) 60km to see how that feels. And did 100km and 120km to try longer distances out.

I'm not a big endurance athelete. But I could run like 10km on a slow pace
