"Why carry more? The biggest comfort on a bike tour
 is ultralite camping equipment."
 


German
:
Wir führen ultra-leichte Camping Ausrüstung und Radreise-Zubehör. Wir campen selbst ultralite..

English: We sell ultralite camping gear and bicycle travel equipment! We camp ultralite ourselves.

 

What Readers say! "I hate you, send me airline ticket, so I can bike-Europe-ultralite!"

I finished reading your e-book and enjoyed it very much.  This is exactly what I was looking for.  I'm a backpacker who has applied Ray Jardine's ideas to my hiking philosophy and a road bike rider, so I was hoping to find an ultralight system for self-contained bike touring.  I agree with your methods and plan to put them into practice.  I also appreciate all your information about touring in Europe on a modest budget.  I haven’t been able to travel to Europe yet because of the cost, but it’s one of my dreams.  Your book has given me hope that I could afford an ultralight bike tour using your system.

Thanks!

Jim
