May 22, 2013
More and more people practice bicycle touring to travel around the world. This is a booming reality that cannot be questioned. In this regard, much has been written on the subject, but this time we propose you a synthesis with the most important aspects that you should not forget before starting your trip.
The bicycle
Before you start any trip you should check and review your mean of transport, that is a key point because there are several aspects of your bicycle that are fundamental in order to perform a safety activity. You should also take a look to the current condition of the wheels of your bike, the brakes and lights. Do not forget to carry basic bike replacements with you in case any incident occurs. From CompeGPS we strongly recommend you to at least learn the basic mechanic issues regarding your bike. This knowledge will help you if unexpected problems come up.
