Do you only go bikepacking for the pictures… or do you actually enjoy it? 🤣

I live in Austria, I don't use Instagram. I do bike packing to enjoy nature and feel good. You don't need to shit on bike packing because you live in a rainy country 😂

You could easly say the same about those fancy $10k road bikes with everything aero, counting every gram, it has to be only for like on insta

As a person who loves bikepacking (and who doesn't post about it on social media), now I cannot wait to see a new episode of Ollie going bikepacking with Conor!

And, Ollie, if I may give you a suggestion, for just a few days, ride at 19kph average, have lots of chatting with your buddy, enjoy nature, pop a beer at the end of the day. Also, make sure you ride a 15kg bike and load it with the most not-aero equipment! You'll have a blast!

Most people don’t actually like doing most things they do.

The only thing that's rubbish here is this take. The kind of people that live for Instagram likes are not thebones who are willing to put themselves through the ringer of a long distance bike trip.

I may have done a bikepacking trip which I didn't post anything about.

I have a bike packing adventure coming up. Budapest to Thessaloniki and it’s going to be a crazy adventure. Crossing Serbia and Macedonia are going to be a blast. Sure it will suck from time to time but the end goal is to crack a beer on the beach and say “I just did that.” No instagram needed for satisfaction of conquering a goal.

And I'm convinced people don't actually like cycling. They're just doing it to inflate their strava numbers.

The beauty of traveling by bike is the nature. I prefer riding alone. You, your bike and the nature. Four days of bikepacking is equal one month of vacation for me. And yes, I take pictures too.

I agree with everything Ollie said. If you want to enjoy bike packing then take a motorcycle.

I went solo bikepacking for 3 weeks in Scotland in June (MTB) and not a single picture was posted online!
I really enjoy bikepacking and that it allows for solitude and remoteness

There are a lot worse things you could do to get likes on IG.

You dont have to sleep in a ditch, campsites make it more civilised and enjoyable

Bikepackers just have better gear and are not hoarders

Neither on Instagram nor a bikepacker.
