Hi all! I am based in Amsterdam and normally head home to the UK for hiking trips (West Highland Way/Coast to Coast etc) as the Netherlands is a little flat.
I have purchased my first (ever) bike to start exploring NL and beyond, and was wondering how to transfer what is normally about 15kg of hiking gear stored on my pack/front pouch to a bike without overly hindering myself… Back panniers? Some sort of frame system?
Ideally not expensive as i can always upgrade later but eager to try it out and enjoy the first time!
Any other advice for those going from through hiking to bike touring/mechanical bike things i should check is also welcome! Cheers
