Show 39: Lightweight Bike Touring

Stijn De ClerkWe’re trying to lighten our bags, so we called in the help of a friend.

Stijn travels all over the world on trips as long as 6 months and he rarely carries panniers that weigh more than 8-10kg.

That’s light compared to the hefty 15kg or more of luggage that we’ve traditionally lugged around on our bikes.

In this podcast, Stijn tells us about his travels, tips for packing and how he continually evaluates his gear to see where he can shave off a few more grams.

We hope you’ll find it as interesting as we did. If you’ve managed to lighten your bags as well, leave a comment and tell us more about how you did it!
