I'm a wimp - I would never do bikepacking (outdoor camping) on my own. I don't know anyone who does it locally, which doesn't help either.

For now, I stick with bike-touring, carrying minimal things and crashing at an inn or Airbnb at night along the way.

Yes, when I do that type of touring, I carry significantly less stuff.

Some clothes, some energy snacks, water, and whatnot.

Thanks! Bike touring - that's definitely a more accurate description!

I live in Washington, DC and walk 30 minutes to work. In a pinch, I'll commute by bike - which gets me there in 10-15 min.

Hi all -

This is a random, silly question, but I'm just trying to make sure I'm using the correct term to describe my cycling interests. Basically, I like cycling from inn-to-inn-to-inn (as opposed to camping).

Is this still considered "bikepacking"?
