I got an email tonight from our friends Gayle and John, who are planning a bicycle trip from Thailand to England.

“Any special tips about packing the old Ortliebs?” Gayle asked. “We have checked and everything easily fits into the panniers but we’re not sure how light the front ones should be…? Is it just trial and error?”

For Gayle, and all the other cycle tourists out there, here are 6 of our top tips on how to pack your bicycle panniers.
