The Ultimate Bikepacking Shopping List for My Glass Art Quest 🚴🎨

Hey, my wild art pack! 

In May 2026, I’m biking 3,500 km to Portugal’s Algarve to carve glass masterpieces and dream of sculptures that’ll outlast us all. It’s me, my Dremel 8220 (4 batteries, 2 chargers—locked in!), and a bike that’s yet to reveal its soul (€800-1,800, L frame, 28” wheels, belt drive, V-brakes). I need gear to haul my art tools, film fox-tastic vlogs, and camp like a pro—think tent forts and solar-powered TikToks. Budget’s €7,000-10,000, and I’m sniffing out Estonia’s best deals (2025 prices, Citybike.ee, Matkasport.ee). Your mega-list’s my blueprint, but I’ve tweaked it for my art chaos—panniers, streaming gear, solar panels, and more, all with a side of laughs. Here’s why each item’s my art-quest MVP, plus costs to keep my wallet from crying. Ready for the fox frenzy? Let’s roll!

Cycling & Safety Gear: My Bike’s BFFs (€1,100-2,250) 🚲🔒

Why I Need It: No bike, no Portugal—simple math! My mystery steed needs pals to carry my Dremel, dodge flats, and keep me visible when I’m lost in France (whoops!). Safety gear’s my “don’t be roadkill” plan, and locks stop thieves from nabbing my art dreams. Gotta roll smooth for 3,500 km, not limp to a ditch!

NB! Not all the items will be exactly the same as named on the list, but may be quite similar and with the same price range! 

What I’m Getting:

• Bicycle (TBD, €800-1,800, Citybike.ee): L frame, 28” wheels, maybe even belt drive (no chain grease on my fox pants), V-brakes for cheap fixes. Still hunting—think of it as my art muse hiding in Veloplus.ee’s racks.
