When I set off on my first solo bike tour, I cobbled together most of my gear from what I had, what I was able to get second hand, and what some kind folks let me borrow. Over the last four years of bike touring and bikepacking, I have slowly updated my gear. These are the 6 bike touring gear upgrades I can’t wait to take on my next adventure.
