Bike Your Drive!

What bike touring is like…

Posted by Russ Roca On September - 3 - 2008

A lot of readers know that I’m the bike touring aficionado of the BikeCommuters.com crew and that I have a pet project dedicated to touring called Epicurean Cyclist If you commute regularly you should give bike touring a try! You’re probably in good enough shape and chances are you’ve got racks, panniers and all the stuff you need to do it.

Anyway, on my last tour I left the DSLR at home and took a Flip video camera with me. I hope this inspires some readers to give touring a try!

    Wow, great summary : the “commuting” or “transfer” part (riding in the town, catching a bus or a train…), the sometimes hard job to load and unload the bike in the bus/train, to pack and unpack the racks… And, finally, the great escape :-)

    Great video Russ. We received one of those Flip Cameras to review.

    Yeah, they’re great given the limitations…although, I did “hack” mine a bit ;) but that’s for a later post…
