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.

Finally we can stop bikepacking ;)

It's totally not bikepacking if you use a trailer I guess.

Yeah that too.

To me these bike caravans seem more like a novelty thing or some fun tinker projects and not something that makes all that much sense though tbh.

Yeah, climbing with a giant trailer sounds rough. I'll stick with my hammock and tarp.
