I could recount a lengthy anecdote about a man I met on a bush walk some
years ago. But I'll cut it short - he was heavily overloaded, and it
turned out he was a cycle tourist. He had a huge pack, and brought along
the gear he usually carried on his bike. I've long ago learned the hard
lessons about overloading, so when I decided to take up cycle touring, I
promised myself that I would not carry more on my bike than I would on
my back.
A single large bag like my bush walking rucksack packs far more efficiently than multiple smaller bags, so if it fits in here...

| Rucksack 70L + daypack attachment(not shown) 11L = 81L. |
It will fit in here (but only just)...
 |
Back Rollers 40L + Front Rollers 25L + Rack Pack 24L + Bar Bag 7L = 96L
touring gear checklist
I use this checklist to make sure I
take what is needed (and only what is needed). If you think it useful
you are very welcome to copy it.
