For long-distance touring bikes, the main considerations should be riding comfort, overall bike strength, frame geometry and load capacity, etc. Generally speaking, weight is not a priority for long-distance touring bikes, and there is no need to consider pneumatic structures.


Most long-distance touring bikes are made of metal, and many advanced long-distance touring bikes choose high-quality steel tubing as the raw material for their frames because of the excellent strength and toughness of the steel frame.


This is because the steel frame has excellent strength and toughness. It has excellent road feedback and excellent shock absorption when riding, and these characteristics will bring the rider a quality riding experience on long rides.


More and more people are falling in love with the sport of cycling, and it is becoming more and more popular to travel around on bikes instead of just riding.


The joy of cyclists is in the riding, which cannot be clearly explained in words; touring or travelling is also a joy in itself.


By linking cycling with sightseeing spots, a new way of travel is formed, making travel more meaningful to explore and undoubtedly increasing the breadth and depth of travel, from then on travel is not just a small point or area on the map.


The equipment you need to bring on the ride.


1. Weight: Camelbak, backpack, small bicycle bag.


We are not participating in a cycling competition, we must prepare Camelbak to pack the necessary things into Camelbak. With a camelback, it is best to ride without a heavy backpack. If you can't avoid using a backpack, a professional hiking bag with a breathable back system is a good choice, and it can be adjusted at any time to distribute the shoulder and waist force function is very useful in reducing fatigue.


2. cycling clothes: loose fast dry long-sleeved clothes and pants, at the same time bundle the pants belt, these are very important. If there is no big sun, you can also wear short sleeves.


3. Sun protection, rain protection, and other weather protection.


4. Supplies and safety gear.


Drugs: Band-Aids, patchouli, etc. should be necessary, others can be prepared in a timely and appropriate manner depending on the condition of the cycling journey.


Repair tools, spare tires: read our travelogue of Hainan cycling will know the importance of repair tools, the tire was punctured actually could not find a place to repair it, which was trouble; but also so live in a farmhouse, but also very interesting to experience, is considered to be a lost horse.


Helmet: must be worn.
