About the project
Built between races, not meetings.
bike-packing.app is Christian Ruf's practical system for planning leaner setups and sharing honest lessons from the road.
Most bikepacking advice gets too abstract, too gear-heavy, or too generic. Riders need repeatable packlists, realistic ideas, and honest lessons that still make sense when the road gets rough.
The app
Built around real bikepacking and ultra-endurance use: prepare a setup faster, reduce friction before a trip, and keep the process simple enough to use before every ride.
The journal
No recycled listicles. Just concrete setups, endurance experiments, race reports, and trade-offs that help with real-world decisions.
The filter
“If it does not help a rider make a better decision in the real world, it does not belong here.”
