have any of you ever lived in one? i am thinking about buying or making one. i just am trying to figure out how safe it is. looking to live in a walmart parking lot or rest area? someplace. living in a tent right now in the rain is getting to me.

Pretty good video about installing a CB on your bike. I think I may install this on my motorized recumbent trike so that I have the option of being social anywhere I'm at, or radioing for help / weather updates, or maybe even finding some work (?). I even wonder whether, as a bike tourer, it'd...

Has anyone ever tried to strap a decently powered folding solar panel on the back of an electric bike? I'm just curious if it would actually work to power it, maybe even if you have to charge on the grid first but the solar helps keep the charge? If anyone has done this or has some links about...

This is absolutely amazing, I never would have thought to use campaign signs as a material for a build but it makes so much sense considering how durable they are. I think the main concern would be how cops would treat you, the legality of it in general, and how to lock it down when going into...

Hey everyone I've been lurking here for awhile now , love all the great info. Anyways I do tree work here in Pennsylvania and have the winters off (Jan 1st- Apr 1st) where I can collect seasonal unemployment. I usually just ski bum but this winter i am seriously contemplating a bike tour , a...

A week ago, I started bicycling on the Transamerica Bicycle Trail. On June 3rd, the 2017 Transamerica Bicycle Race started. On Sunday, June 4th, I made it to Mitchell, Oregon and stayed at the Spoke'n Hostel. While I was there, lots of racers from the TBR were stopping by. The hostel was giving...

Does anyone have any suggestions for making a kick stand or pole to hold up a loaded touring bike? I've never had a bike without a kickstand before. I need to make something that holds a lot of weight because I will have a semi-big load.

http://www.easternexpressroute.com/ An Adventure Cycling tour leader has made an express route for the eastern portion of the transamerica bicycle trail. It bypasses some tough climbs and spots with chase happy dogs. It starts in Washington D.C. instead of Yorktown, Virginia. It is not yet...

Good morning! I've been conditioning myself for, and building my gear up for, a tour through Montana, ultimately heading down to Yellowstone through paradise valley. I've got a GIANT brand aluminum frame mtn bike with disk brakes, as well as rechargeable and battery powered lights (in case I...

New to Colorado.. .. Anyone?? Man it is lonely and cold here.. Wondering if I made a big fucking mistake..

I'm posting this guide with the hopes that those reading it will give me input to make it better and point out flaws and gaps in the guide. Please see the first reply for more info! What is Bike Touring? Bike punk is just the clever name we’ve given to bike culture as it relates to the punk...

*cue funky drum and bass* I like making swords, and wicked tree forts. I have a Chihuahua, she runs like she plays 'hot lava'. We sit on a couch, and try not to slouch. I've been at home for many many years, many many many many mnay many years. I used to travel, I liked it a lot. But my work is...

I've been thinking of hitting the road again, an I have a little cash, but I don't think I want to buy a vehicle, I do but I don't. Anyways my question is what kind of Bicycle do y'all suggest or recommend I buy if I decide to tour on it.

I'm kicking off my first extreme long distance bicycle tour tomorrow. I wanted to go earlier this year but I had some set backs. My goal is to go from east coast to west coast but that is subject to change. As of now the route is made up on a day to day basis. I'll be keeping you guys updated...

I thought I would pass this along. I have no idea how this will benefit longer-distance travels, hell, it might benefit lazy people! Who knows... My take on this is where all drills require a lot of charging time. And if you did decide to use a drill for the purpose of riding your bicycle...

This year I am trying a new mode of travel, this 150mpg duo engine motorized bicycle: This is the route I am taking, mostly 25 miles per hour through mountains. If you are transiting this same area in the 3 days preceding or following the event or after maybe I can jump in your van for part...

Some pictures of my travels on peddles ...

This was an okay method for travel, but it was kinda half assed. While I had the benefit of bungeeing my backpack to my strangely shaped bmx sized bike, I was getting passed by mountain bikes, and played leap frog with joggers as I took smoke breaks. Hitchhiking was awkward because of the bike...
