Bikes: 1961 Ideor, 1966 Perfekt 3 Speed AB Hub, 1994 Bridgestone MB-6, 2006 Airnimal Joey, 2009 Thorn Sherpa, 2013 Thorn Nomad MkII, 2015 VO Pass Hunter, 2017 Lynskey Backroad, 2017 Raleigh Gran Prix, 1980s Bianchi Mixte on a trainer. Others are now gone.

For day hiking when I am on a bike tour, I use a lightweight fanny pack. It is an old one (1980s vintage?) with some leather patches on it for extra straps, I can strap a jacket on the outside of the fanny pack. Folds up to almost nothing in teh bottom of the pannier and only weighs 300 grams.

I gave my sister a backpack for Christmas, she wanted one that folded up small but could be used for travel. I got her one of these:

Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Daypack - REI.com

I have not tried it but she looked at it in the store and decided she wanted one for travel and sightseeing.
