When I first bought a road bike, it was not my thought to spend several days, travelling with my bike. In my (sports-minded) environment, friends and girlfriends went to the Alps<\/a> Whether the Pyrenees<\/a>. With a tent, in an apartment or luxurious in a hotel. Bikepacking was not hip back then.
