When I started bicycle touring after having been on the road hitchhiking for six years (end of the 70's early 80's), I just lashed my small rucksack, sleeping bag and guitar to the rear rack of a 5-speed bike and rode from Sweden to Spain (barefoot).

I've tried to keep it simple since then too, but now have a touring bike, a tent, even bought waterproof panniers this year. I even have shoes nowadays!!!, so who knows how it may end!
