Gear Talk / Re: How many people tour with non-touring bikes?
« on: June 05, 2009, 04:53:57 pm »If you're worried about whether or not your bike can structurally handle a load, opt for a trailer. There are a million ways to tour and not one of them is right. I spent years racing, training, and touring on one cyclocross bike with no problems. Before that I was touring on a road bike, and now I'm touring on a standard touring bike (Surly LHT). As far as I'm concerned, they all got the job done satisfactory.
