Yah, i thought about that but i think i'll get by this year as I'm going to ride around southern Sweden, should be plenty of trees in most locations, and i can always look into hostels if not. They have a great network of those, usually placed half a days riding apart. If I was going to a moreunknown location or touring through different climates, I'd bring a tent. One of the drawbacks I thought of too was storing bags "outside", I figure a tarp over bike and bags, tied together through the wheels, maybe with a steel wire and padlock should deal with opportunity thieves.
