My Fixed Gear Setup for Bike Touring!

Fixed gear bikes are among the worst bikes to go bike touring with: you're always in the wrong gear, the weight you're carrying makes you go even slower, uphills AND downhills are miserable, and they have little to no mounts for racks to get weight off of your back. But I'm doing a 2 week tour on my fixed gear anyway. Here's my fixed gear setup for touring.
