Do you fancy bike-packing and would like some guidance? Or do you have some kit and are you a just looking to kick start your first over-night expedition? Whatever, you are welcome to join us to talk all things bike luggage and set up.


Meet up with us on Tuesday 17th of June (17:30 to 19:00) for a talk through the good, bad and ugly of bike-packing with seasoned staff from Alpkit and beyond….


The subjects we will cover will range from bike-packing essentials to luxury items, bag choices and set up, tips on how to pack effectively, the conundrum of tent vs bivvy plus some tales from past trips and how to bodge and fix things if things go wrong!


Bring your bike, try our range and see what works best for you.


This will be followed by a Q&A, beverages and snacks when you’ll get the chance to ask some of the crew any questions and meet other like-minded folk. We will also offer a 15% discount on purchases*
