RAR Atlanta’s Bikepacking Gear Library – Feb/Mar’22 Bikepacking News

A Bikepacking Gear Library for RAR Atlanta

Our top story for February and March is Radical Adventure Rider’s Atlanta chapter launch of their bikepacking gear library.

With the goal of making bikepacking gear more accessible, RAR Atlanta set to work on gathering gear, developing a library system and finding and setting up a space. The gear library serves member of the RAR Atlanta community at various stages in their bikepacking journies whether they are just trying out bikepacking for the first time or leveling-up their setups. Supported by donations from brands, shops and individuals, the RAR Atlanta Bikepacking gear library is well stocked with bags, camping gear and even a few bikes.

This gear library serves as a great example for other cycling organizations looking to support their communities interest in bikepacking. Getting started at bikepacking can be a daunting task with all of the expensive gear associated with it. Having access to gear to try out is a great way to allow many folks to figure out if bikepacking is something they are interested in without a large financial commitment.

One reason this story is particularly inspiring to us is some ideas we have going for a bikepacking gear library. We’re still in early days of brainstorming, so just dropping a little hint of what we’re thinking about…
