Bikepacking

 

Bikepacking is when you combine cycling with camping on at least a one-night trip. Unlike cycle touring, the aim is to get to more remote locations, avoiding the main roads as much as possible. A bikepacking setup is usually geared towards a minimalistic approach bringing as little as possible but still having a comfortable time. Gone are panniers and heavy canvas bags and instead you strap your bags directly on your frame in order to lighten your load.

 

There are different styles of bikepacking ranging from difficult single track riding ridden on a full suspension bike to winter fat biking tours high in the mountains on snowy trails. But for those living in the Stockholm region, the gravel bike variation using the huge network of trails from this book is an ideal starting point. 

 

Bikepacking is not only for the purests. It’s for everyone regardless of what gear you have or which bike you use to get out and explore. It can be as simple as putting a bag on your back, grabbing a bike and riding away from the city to enjoy the countryside. Apart from the excellent gravel roads you have to choose from, the Stockholm region as well as many other parts of Sweden, has an extensive wild-camping infrastructure which can be used to enhance your outdoor experience.
