Touring Bike

More adventuresome cyclists can take a trip on their own. A touring bike is built to carry panniers filled with gear. There are many maps on the Internet that show low traffic roads to help with planning.

Some companies cater to cyclists who want to take a trip on a touring bike. They feature all-inclusive packages with exotic meals and hotel fare included. In addition, a van accompanies the riders and carries safety equipment and luggage.

Taking a vacation with a touring bike opens a new world for cyclists. Not only will it get the vacationer in good physical shape, but it will provide new experiences. Bicycling for hours at a time on relaxing roads is an adventure.
