Maybe this post should be a separate thread...? But it touches on cycling/travel gear choices. Here goes...

Gear talk and research helps to keep the adventure travel fires burning during the winter. I'm planning a different take on RTW cycling by including running my business from the road. My work is highly portable, needing mainly only a laptop (still working to narrow down my pre-shopping choices), mobile phone, and power/internet capabilities.

Is anyone else here either already doing this or is planning something similar? Would like to compare notes, info, encouragement, etc. If you've already done this kind of work/cycling stint or are currently doing this, what keeps you sane, productive, motivated, etc?

I figure I'm a "slow" traveller, preferring to be on the move for a little while (including off-road, trails, sand, dirt), but ultimately renting/staying somewhere for several weeks to months where I can work from a "home base", explore, and experience local living more.

I've been researching/learning all sorts of things for the past several months:

- biz-related gear, storage, recharging tech (i.e., no power outlets on a mountain trail), digital security;
- income tax obligations depending on where your clients are based or where you're located at the time (I'm Canadian)... lots to learn here;
- international co-sharing office spaces (I've got a growing list of these);

And so much more.

Egads, maybe this SHOULD be a separate thread! BTW, I'm also a motorcyclist, but believe bikepacking is an excellent teacher of ultralight travel and essentialism. Hope I'm not alone in this endeavour.
