Mountain Bike Mountain View
What is a good touring bike and where can i get one?
Hi there! I am interested in doing long distance cycling. my goal eventually is to build up for cycling all over the world. Ive heard mixed views on mountain/touring bikes and was wondering what is best. The bike would have to carry a full load, saddlebags on the front, back and a handlebarbag i think. carrying camping gear and whatever else one requires for such long distance travel. it also needs to be able to do road/offroad, be veeery comfortable and able to ride well with such a weight on it. if anyone knows of good bikes that can do this, and where to purchase one i would be very grateful! i wont say a max price because i honestly dont know how much ur meant to pay for such a bike!
Being the biggest Raleigh fan on this web site – I have to go that route. My new Raleigh Sojourn rides like a friggin’ dream! But sadly, that bike is sold in the USA. For the UK version, check out the Raleigh Royal – second link below. Mine is on the first link.
