Packing list

Paklijst header

You are going on a trip and you are taking…

Yes, what actually? And how do you get all that on your bike? At first glance, this may seem like a daunting task, but if you can stick to the essentials, you will reach your destination smoothly and packed. Be sure to take the maximum weight of your bike into account. That is the weight of your bike, your own weight and the weight of your luggage.
