Touring on road bicycles has become more and more popular.  When I was young, I first recall seeing men on touring bicycles climbing the highways through the White Mountains in New Hampshire.  I was intrigued watching these riders climbing the long inclines for miles on end without stopping.  Loving the outdoors and especially the mountains, I knew this was the only way to really enjoy the magnificent views.  It was then that I realized the type of bicycle they were riding was much different then the cruiser style bike I grew up with~owned.

A few months ago I met a man in his late 50′s who lived on the east coast.  Each summer he would fly with his touring bicycle to California.  Then he’d spend several weeks riding across the country coming home.   Needless to say, his bicycle was outfitted with loads of specialized touring bags and accessories.  As the sport’s popularity has risen, so has the demand for road bicycles.  In the past, the only place to locate a~shop for a tour bicycle was at local bike shop which would usually be limited to one brand of bike.  Of course that all came with a high price tag.  Lets face it, the price of Schwinn~touring bikes simply put them out of reach for younger people just entering the sport.

I recall traveling a couple hours to find the specific Schwinn road bike I was searching for.  Fortunately today, that is not the case.  You can find all the biggest names in road bicycles on the internet.  The additional benefit is most can be found at very reasonable prices also.  The interest in bicycle touring has also given rise to the availability of specialized bicycle parts, accessories and bicycle clothing.  You would be hard pressed to find bicycle parts at your local discount store.  But this is not the case online.

The first upgrade that long distance touring requires is a way to carry your personal gearand supplies on long trips.  The popularity of touring has provided riders a huge variety of upgrade bicycle parts and accessories.  It is quite easy to find replacement or upgrade bicycle parts and adult bicycling accessories for your long trips.  Serious bikers can easily upgrade just about their entire bicycle by traveling no further then their PC.
