Bike Hammocking is the way to go!
Last year when I retired, I dug out my mtn. bike (Raleigh) and 30 yr old panniers (Cannondales- hardly used). I rode and camped along the Greenbrier river Trail & the C&O Canal trail. Biking & hammocking go perfect together cause sometimes you never know where you are going to stop for the night.
And sitting on a bike all day my back needs a real rest. The comfort of a hammock makes the ride so much nicer. One real hot day I set my hammock up for an afternoon snooze to recover. Easier than a tent and mattress setup.
