Bikepacking when you're a short ass...

[Heltor Chasca]

I carried the thinnest pair of walking trousers, T-shirt, and thin canvas slippers. Arrive at hotel, shower and wash cycling gear, change into evening wear and off out on the town. Stagger back, sleep, breakfast, and off again.

You should try going into Plymouth clad in Lycra after midnight on a Saturday night looking for food. It’s the most audacious DIY I have done yet.

Yes one set of lightweight pack able easy care clothing for evening and kit for day. I have some shoes that weigh 300g for the pair and can be easily stuffed in a saddlebag or even strapped on top of a rack.

I'm even more impressed now - all that into a longflap, plus the rest that you need/want to carry (tools, etc).

Was it the Blue Oyster night club you went in?

if it helps, planet x have a sale on their bike packing kit - not sure what the quality is like but i'm sure others may have used it
