The Basics of Bicycling Touring

CLASS DESCRIPTION


Bicycle touring is gaining momentum as a popular and inexpensive way to travel -- traveling by bicycle is slow enough to get to know a place and its people, but fast enough to cover decent ground. This course covers the basics of bicycle travel, whether it be an overnight trip close-to-home, a week-long trip in the US, or a multi-month trip across the globe. The course covers everything from trip planning to gear selection and concentrates on supported, credit card, and self-contained styles of road bike touring.
