>>662313>weight constraints dont mean nearly as much on a bike do they?They mean the same thing, but it means you can carry more weight and not wreck your knees and back. Load up your bike and take it for a spin around your area. Then take that weight off the bike, put it into your pack, and hike the same areas. Then you'll quickly understand that a tool like a bike is a massive help (something to do with wheels I'd imagine...).
