Few from the weekend just gone in the New Forest, with the Cotic. Spent most of it enjoying the crunchy gravel, the company of friends I hadn’t met in very long and having some major bike envy. The Cotic seemed utilitarian and functional, very fun but nothing as pretty as the others (not least @Browndonneur ‘s Bassi 👀). It rode beautifully though so maybe there’s something to be said for perspective.
The setup in the last image was decent - tent and sleeping bag on the rear rack along with tent poles and some slippers, all spare clothes out front in my battered old Alpkit roll bag, food and small luxuries inc. toiletries, kindle etc in the frame bag, stem bags and a bum bag. Sony A6000 slung behind my back. I definitely felt that I could have done with loading some more on the bike; the bum bag in particular was super bulky. Perhaps my old Carradice mini panniers, or some fork cage bags, would ease that load. It was fine for just two days’ camping though.
