  • all you should need is a credit card and jacket. such a distance is a good opportunity to show yourself how little you need. for me at least, it's enjoyable doing distance with nothing/ as little as possible. if you have even a small feeling you might find it rewarding, give it a go! x

    just read again... yeah carradice is good but attachments stay on your bike. ortlieb better if you'd prefer to keep frame clean x

    I am intending on doing some light touring around the end of August beginning of September from Philadelphia to New York. Route is about 160 km. I've done longer stints with rear and front panniers all full of gear but won't need to this time as I intend on doing it in a day and have friends in New York I'll be staying with so no camping. I don't want to take a rucksack and feel panniers would be overkill for a day trip.

    Also don't want to spend a fortune for such a short trip so any suggestions regarding either handlebar bags or saddle bags?
