Let Me Help You Find The Perfect Touring Bicycle
The bicycle you select for your travels is the most important piece of bicycle touring gear you’ll ever need to purchase. Pick the right bicycle for your trip and you’ll be sure to come home with those wonderful bicycle touring memories you’ve been dreaming about. But pick the wrong bicycle and your trip could be over before it’s even had a chance to begin.
- The dream you are likely having involves going on a bicycle tour and having memorable experiences you will carry with you for the rest of your life. Experiences so incredible you will tell your friends and family about them for years to come.
- The reality, however, might be that you never complete your bike tour, because you picked the wrong touring bicycle – a bicycle that wasn’t built for the kind of bike tour you were participating in – and you were unable to return home with those magical memories you were hoping for.
WARNING: What many first-time bicycle tourists don’t realize is that there are several different types of bicycles made for bicycle touring. There are touring bicycles made for short day trips around your home; fast, sporty touring bicycles made for racing and light touring; and an entire separate breed of touring bicycles made to carry you and your gear all the way around the world. Plus, there are bicycles made for a whole bunch of different types of cycling (and aren’t really designed for bicycle touring at all).

Discover The Touring Bicycle Of Your Dreams
The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles is broken up into three main parts. The first part is text, which is a compilation of…
How-To Information: information on touring bicycles and advice on how to select your ideal bicycle touring vehicle. The information in the book teaches you about:
- The features, components and characteristics that are unique to touring bicycles.
- The five different types of touring bikes.
- Words and definitions that are important to know when purchasing a touring bicycle.
- What you need to know about the different types of metals used in touring bicycle frames.
- The different types of touring bicycle brakes, handlebars, shifters, and gears.
- How to find the right size bicycle for your body type.
- Scams you should look out for when purchasing a new touring bicycle.
- And a tip that could save you hundreds of dollars when purchasing your new touring bike.
The second part of The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles is the 14-part video course that will visually walk you through everything you need to know before you go out and purchase a touring bicycle of your very own.
1 – Introduction To Touring Bicycles
The goal of this course is to educate you so that you can go out on your own and purchase the best type of bicycle for your specific needs; so you don’t waste your money purchasing a bicycle that isn’t suited for the type of cycling you ultimately wish to conduct; and so that, in the end, you have a touring bicycle that you can use to conduct your own incredible bicycle touring adventures anywhere in the world.

2 – The Best Kind Of Touring Bicycle
Before you can even begin to look for your ideal touring bicycle, you first need to understand the different types of bicycles tours – as the type of touring bicycle that is going to be best for you is going to be very much determined by the type of bicycle touring that you wish to conduct.

3 – Frame Materials
The frame of your bicycle is the backbone of your machine. The components (i.e. derailleurs, shifters, brakes, etc.) can be changed and upgraded over time, but a weak, heavy or uncomfortably stiff frame will remain with you no matter what. Because of the weight that touring bikes need to carry and the amount of time you will spend on the bike while traveling, the material used in making the frame of your touring bicycle is extremely important.

4 – Wheels, Tires & Tubes
In much the same way that there are different types of metals used in touring bicycle frames, there are also different types of wheels, tires and tubes used on the various types of touring bicycles. What you will tend to see is that touring bicycles of different types generally use the same or similar size wheels and tires. So, you want to make sure that the wheels on your touring bicycle fit the type of bicycle touring you wish to be conducting.

5 – Handlebars & Shifters
Your handlebars are not only the tool you use to steer your bicycle, but they also function as one of three surfaces on which to support your body weight as you ride (the other two being your saddle and your pedals), in addition to being a convenient mounting place for your bicycle’s shifters, brake levers, lights, bell, cycling computer, GPS or other optional accessories.

6 – Gearing & Brakes
Once you begin looking at the touring bicycles being produced today, you will begin to notice that there are a number of different gear combinations and brake designs used on the various touring bike models. In this video we’ll discuss how to read and interpret the gearing on your new touring bicycle… and we’ll have a brief discussion on the two most common type of brakes found on touring bicycles.

7 – Saddles
Most (but not all) touring bicycles come equipped with a saddle (also called a “seat”). In this video we’ll discuss what to look for in the design of a high-quality (and comfortable) touring bicycle saddle… and we’ll discuss some of the things you can do if you discover that the saddle on your touring bicycle is causing you chafing, irritation or pain.

8 – Pedals & Shoes
The pedal is the part of a bicycle that you push with your feet in order to propel your bike forward. The pedal provides the connection with your bike between your foot and shoe, and is therefore one of the most important parts of your bicycle. While there are a number of different pedal types available, there are really only two different types of pedals that are popular in the touring bike world…
Watch the Video
9 – Racks & Panniers
A traditional touring bicycle carries most of its clothing, gear, food and equipment in a set of panniers, which attach to the bicycle with the use of either front and/or rear racks. The benefit of bicycle panniers is that they are easy to pack, relatively easy to access on a daily basis, and they allow you to ride the bike in a normal way once you get used to the extra weight that you are carrying.
Watch the Video
10 – Trailers
Another way you might choose to carry the gear you need for your bicycle tour is to transport that equipment with a trailer. A trailer is a large, one or two wheeled device that you pull behind your bicycle – and the trailer usually attaches to your bicycle at the rear axle or from your seat post. Trailers are a great option for individuals who are totally new to bicycle touring.

11 – Bikepacking Bags
While racks and panniers are the most popular method for carrying your food, gear and clothing on a road-based bike tour, bikepacking bags are an excellent choice for cyclists traveling off-road (or for those participating in fast and sporty touring trips on mostly road-based surfaces). Here’s a quick breakdown of the frame packs, seat packs, handlebar bags and accessory packs you might use in a bikepacking setup…

12 – Extra Parts & Accessories
Speaking of things you might need to add to your bicycle once you purchase it, now would be a good time to talk about some of the extra parts, items and accessories you may need to purchase for your touring bicycle before you’re ready to hit the road on your first big bicycle tour. In this video we’ll discuss water bottles, fenders, bike computers, kickstands and a whole lot more!

13 – Buying Your New Touring Bicycle

In this video, you will be guided through the bike buying process – from beginning to end. This is a step-by-step breakdown for finding and buying your ideal touring bicycle.

14 – Assembling Your Touring Bicycle
After you’ve purchased your new bicycle and all of the racks, panniers, fenders, water bottle cages and other accessories you plan to put on your touring bicycle, it’s time to assemble your new bike and transform it into a finished touring bicycle that you can use to conduct your own cycling adventures anywhere in the world.
