>>1005852>You can't take a tent for example. ?
You can take pretty much anything you want while bicycle touring. Tents, blankets, pillows, extra clothing, big cameras, tripods, camping chairs, computers, etc. More weight will slow you down, especially uphill, but not nearly as much as it would on foot.
>>1005985I carried my pump externally when I started touring too. Before too long I learned that taking a pump from cold, wet, low-pressure mountains to hot, dry, low deserts in blazing sun is not good for the seal. I ended up having to hitch a ride to a city and never made the same mistake again.
Cool water bottle setup.
