CBOD

This is a light bikepacking / gravel touring setup built around a modern gravel bike.

Setup Components

* Gravel bike with drop bars and wide tires.
* Handlebar bag for snacks, tools, phone, and ride essentials.
* Rear rack with a single pannier as the primary luggage system.
* Two frame-mounted water bottles for hydration.
* Small cook pot/cup attached to the pannier, suggesting camping or coffee-stop use.

What Type of Setup Is It?

Primary Classification: Gravel Bikepacking

Specific Style:

* Overnighter Bikepacking – ideal for 1–2 night trips.
* Touring – lightweight travel with minimal gear.
* Coffee Outside / Campout Setup – enough space for food, coffee gear, and essentials without carrying full expedition equipment.

Why It Works

✅ Lighter than traditional touring with two large panniers
✅ More comfortable on gravel roads and mixed terrain
✅ Easy to handle on climbs and long rides
✅ Perfect for campouts like Swift Campout and CBOD adventure rides
