    Backpack or bike bags?

    in Gear Choice for RASA

    I always wonder why freedom challenge riders carry such big backpacks? would it not be easier to pack more gear onto the bike in saddle bag and/or frame bag? handlebar roll also an option? Seems to me that it would take less weight off the rider and saddle pressure?
