  • @simonwoodward438
    @simonwoodward438 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like bikepacking but then I've been riding constantly all my life. But it's tough, my carbon road bike (not suitable for bikepacking)is around 7.5kg but my lightest bikepacking set up is 20kg or as much as 30kg on the off road winter set up I use. So a e bike is a good choice I reckon I've seen a few people now using them to bike pack. I live on the edge of the West Midlands and South Staffs boarder so even though we are in the sticks it's still very urban if that makes sense. I have to travel at least 30 miles just to get into quieter countryside and at least 45 just to get to the base of the Peak District. Wild camping is really tricky as well, plenty of places but either frowned upon or the law is brought into force. I try to find basic campsites and use it as a base to ride from, it is what it is so I just make the most of it.

    • @Nobby77
      @Nobby77  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    That was a nice little video. it is very visible that you lost a LOT of weight, can't really call you FUB any longer. 😉 I think the E-Bike might be the better option especially for an old fart like me. If you do find a sponsor, put in a word for me, but knowing my luck, I'd get a a racing saddle aka, 6 inch nail to sit on.
