The Bike and the Gear

Gear

I'm riding a Trek 520 that I bought used. I got the bike because it has a steel frame that absorbs lots of shock.

Plenty of accessories are attached to the bike:

-Front + Back racks and panniers

-Lights + flag

- clipless pedals

-2 water bottle holders

And I'm carrying more stuff with me:

- Sleeping bag

-Tent

-toiletries

-spare spokes

-spare tubes

-propane cooking stove

-various tools for the bike (Allen wrenches, needle nose pliers, etc)

-flashlight

-knife

-sunglasses

-can opener

-duct tape

-spare battery tool, also has a compass and led light on it.

-Bluetooth portable speaker

-Tire pump
- and a 70in flat screen tv

Clothes:

-2 bike shirts

-2 padded bike shorts

-2 T shirts

-2 athletic shorts

-windbreaker

-3 pairs socks

-3 briefs

All together, the weight is surprisingly only about 15-20 lbs. However, this excludes the weight of the food that I'll also carry with me.
