Touring Bikes

A touring bicycle is a bicycle designed or modified to handle touring. To make the bikes sufficiently robust, comfortable and capable of carrying heavy loads, special features may include a long wheelbase for ride comfort and to avoid pedal-to-luggage conflicts, frame materials that favor flexibility over rigidity for ride comfort, heavy duty wheels for load capacity and multiple mounting points for luggage racks, fenders and bottle cages. Manufacturers put lots of miles into making sure these bikes are fit for the road, these bikes really do go the distance!
