"Bicycle touring through the Sierra Nevada, Death Valley, Utah, Colorado Rockies, and to my destination in Nebraska. Music composed by me with samples from Garageband iOS." It's a long video, but if you want to get an idea of what a ride like this looks like, he's done an excellent job of...

Hey guys anyone know if I can just stick a rack on this and a couple of panniers and go away for a few months? I've been thinking about it for awhile but I'm not willing to buy a touring bike if I can use a road bike. Can someone recommend saddle bags, panniers and racks...

Hey folks, as some of you might know, I've been making plans to do a bike tour down the west coast via the 101 highway. My goal is to bike from Astoria, Oregon to Slab City, California and arrive in time for StP's Dirty Scouts Jamboree in October. I've done a few small bike tours before, but...

Hai! I'm gonna be catching out for a national longboard solo tour of the South/South-West in late February. Anyone have any experience or suggestions? My plan is to use Rails-To-Trails and whatnot where possible, and roads the rest of the way. I'll be regularly stopping in towns every few...

I came to Washington for some temporary work, and decided to stay for the rainforests, islands, mountains, and rivers. That's the stuff I like most, so if I'm not out unicycling, I'm out exploring. Now I sleep on the couch of a relative in Olympia, and work part-time to pay off the car I arrived...

So I've been hitchhiking around for a couple of months now, and somehow I've figured it isn't the right fit for me. I've met many great, compassionate people and had fun camping (I was always the ninja on halloween), but something about the type of people on the road strikes me as harmful. I...

Ahoy, so in summary, I'm doing a bike/longboarding tour from Sacramento, CA to Portland, OR. As of yet, I haven't hitched, hopped, tramped or toured. I've been locked in a metropolitan setting, living nomadicaly since the age of 15, with a 1 year hiatus to try out my "friends" advice of being...

Hey guys! I posted about how I'm going to be biking around michigan about 2 months ago. I've had a lot happen since then that has required me to keep pushing back my trip, but I'm finally taking off from Grand Rapids this Sunday (the 2nd). the current plan is just a trip up along the coast to...

I'm very much new to the bike touring world, just reading lots to get an idea of the things to look forward to. i've hiched a hell of a lot, and one thing that can be a bit of a bitch, when in a populated an area, is what to do with the gear. With a backpack I usually ask a shop/bar/hostel to...

I'm doing another bike tour from Colorado to New York in the next few weeks. I already have all my gear since I did this six months ago to get here, but I need to get there in 30 days and was wondering if anyone had any luck touring and either hitch hiking or hopping freight trains. I'm making...
