I have just come back from going on a cycle tour around the Netherlands, this was an amazing experience in which I combined my love of cycling and travelling. One key aspect of going on a cycle tour is the fact that you have to carry your belongings on your bike with the handy design of panniers. However, as I learnt, there are essentials you need to pack and certainly things you can live without. Here is a packing list of what I would advise to pack (and what I'm going to follow the next time I go)... TOILETRIES - Mini shampoo and conditioner - Dove soap (can be used to wash your face and body) - Travel toothbrush and mini toothpaste - This works roller-ball (a good idea for all of you that suffer from getting to sleep in new locations, this scent will relax you and help you drift off) - Sanitary towels (to wear in your cycling shorts to keep them fresh) - Roll on deodorant (I tend to opt for the mens version as the scent is stronger and I find it lasts longer) - Roll
