bike racks

Bicycle Touring 101: Front and Rear bike Racks. bicycle racks are expensive ($40+ new). also: holy shit, touring with 100+ lbs? what is that dude thinking? is he bringing his cast iron cookware? hiking I carried 35ish lbs or less, tent/food/water and all. I'd expect the whole set-up INCLUDING the bicycle to be less than 100 lbs! less than 80 lbs, even, if we're not camping probably 15-20 lbs stuff (food, water, camera, change of clothes) plus 35 lbs bicycle.
