I'm planning a small bikepacking trip to the Fuji Five Lakes and Yamanashi. As I looked around the area, I noticed some roads that include tunnels. Is it safe and allowed for a bike to go through them? ​ https://preview.redd.it/rzs6dg1orqxb1.jpg?width=3211&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bef052b32018b0a0388729335c6471e6ff3f2fd1 ​ https://preview.redd.it/iuzsn08rrqxb1.jpg?width=2580&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3dbc1583cfd51044a6ed91d92b1f694735fae70 ​ [The grey bits are the tunnels](https://preview.redd.it/qv67g00srqxb1.jpg?width=2769&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93a3e36623c739781db8bf3231e39a4579afa8da) ​ Additional question: roughly how hard of a punishment this bike can take? ​ https://preview.redd.it/vhvszlabsqxb1.jpg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=17f340e7b1d58a4cb56c2593823a9c5007d25fcf It's a Trek Lexa SL, I bought it secondhand, so I searched around the internet and apparently it has aluminium frame and carbon forks? I'm wondering whether it can handle somewhat of a rough terrain. I'd like to make it more touring-ready, so I'm planning to buy a rack, maybe Topeak's Super Tourist DX. I'm a rather small guy, so this bike fits perfectly for me! Thank you in advance!

Hi all, I'm trying to decide between buying a 2022 Marin Nicasio or a Surly Disc Trucker. My budget is about \~2k so I can afford the Surly. I live in the Washington DC area so primarily ride on road but some on gravel; it will probably be about 90% road and 10% gravel. The reason I'm also looking at touring bikes is because my Dad now lives in Europe and I plan to do some touring with him over there, and it would be nice to bring my bike with me. It seems the Nicasio can do some light touring, but it's likely I will be doing \~1 week long tours in Europe and I'm not sure if a Nicasio could handle that. That being said touring in Europe would likely be once a year at most, and I'm not sure how much touring I would do in the US. So almost all of my riding will be day rides in the DC area. Is it worth getting the Surly? Seems from a weight perspective both bikes are pretty heavy (I've read Nicasio is about 28 lbs, SDT is about 28.83 lbs), so not sure how much faster I'd be able to go on a Nicasio. If the weight is pretty much the same, but the Surly offers more versatility, makes sense to get the Surly right?

My current bike is a Fuji Touring I've had since about 2016. It's full touring oriented, and I've put a great many miles on it, when on my own longer distance touring or trips is what I enjoy doing. I am going to soon move up by my brother who is really big into Mountain Biking, and I'd also like to get into it, but I am generally a one bike guy. I don't want to be switching bikes all the time for different purposes. There have been kind of an explosion of hybrid style bikes that have blurred a lot of the lines, kind of like the Gravel bike category. Obviously, something which isn't a pure touring bike isn't going to do as good at that, but are there any bikes (or categories I should consider) out there capable of being acceptable for MTB trails as well as touring use? Rear rack/panniers to me would be a must. I am still learning a lot about MTB geometry and requirements, so any additional insights are greatly appreciated. I was originally pointed towards the Kona Unit X or the Marin Pine Mountain 2 as potential options and want to ensure I am not missing others. Thanks!

If you're not in a car or a house or a building, or on your own property, you get the side-eye. People assume you are without a home, (bless your heart and God forbid), or otherwise to be avoided. Needless to say I didn't grow up biking. The roads there aren't build for that. If you try to use them anyway, you risk harassment and bodily harm. I moved away to my college town. I bought a bike. The bike was stolen despite a U-lock. I bought another bike, and this time I double-locked it inside a locked garage. It got stolen too. I met a guy who lived in another state. When I visited him, he told me he wanted to show me his town, but this college student didn't have a car. We took his bike and a borrowed one, and went for a ride. When I struggled to bike up a hill, he berated me. I had what I now understand was a panic attack. I thought I was scared of biking. A few months later, he was out of the picture, but the fear of bikes remained. I moved out of the state. I met another guy. This one worked for an organization that, in part, built mountain bike trails. I visited him at a work event one day, and despite my fear and hesitation, was talked into a beginners ride on a demo bike. He had to work, so off I went with new acquaintances, all of which seemed much more comfortable on a bike than I felt. I don't know who decided it was a beginner ride. On the fourth tight switchback of eight, I endo'd down the next two. Trying to calm my panicked breathing, I walked down the rest of them. At the bottom, the narrow trail contoured along a steep, sandy hillside a hundred feet above a raging river. I walked my bike back to the car. The guy found me and apologized. He asked what he could do to make up for it. "Maybe I could, like, paint your toes all the colors of the rainbow?" I laughed in spite of my self and through the tears. We're married now. I decided bikes weren't for me. I avoided them for years, and when I thought about biking or talked about biking, I felt the panic coming back. In grad school, parking was scarce at the college, but it was a short, easy bike ride. I decided to try again. I bought an old spray-painted black bike for $50 and started by walking the route. Then I biked there. The familiarity helped. I started biking other places too. After school, I moved to a town with a thriving mountain bike scene. I bought a cheap mountain bike and rode flat gravel paths. Then I road flat single-track. Gradually, I worked my way up to intermediate trails. My throat no longer threatened to close when I thought about biking. My job offered a two-month sabbatical after seven years, and my husband and I talked about what we wanted to do with this time. He needs constant movement, and I had spent time in Turkey in college and always wanted to explore more. We decided a bike tour was a good compromise. So this spring, he took a leave of absence and we set out on a two-month bike tour of Turkey. We started on the western coast and biked to the borders of Syria, Iran, and Armenia. We saw the remnants of ancient civilizations and glittering modern cities, tasted delicious food, explored mountains and forests and canyons, and met many kind and generous people. Bike touring is such a unique and rich way of traveling. I loved it. When I came back, I biked from my house to the grocery store one day. It felt completely normal. I got my groceries, loaded them up in the panniers, and biked the three miles home again. All of a sudden, I remembered the feeling of my throat closing up and the panic from years before. At that moment, I was so grateful for everything that had led me to this point, and just for the ability to go for a ride. \*\*\*\* Thanks for reading this. It's something I've been thinking about a lot lately, as the weather turns bad and I can't bike as much.

Me and my partner are travelling in Europe over the next few months and I have got my heart set on hiring a bike touring set up and cycling from Geneva to Nice over the French Alps. We cycle to work and back each day back at home (in New Zealand), although that’s only 8km each way…… In general we are very fit and healthy people, but don’t have experience cycle touring. Most people keep telling me that we’re setting ourselves up for disaster and that we shouldn’t do it, so I’ve came to this group looking for opinions. - Do you think it’s possible for somebody without bike touring experience to complete this trip? - Does anybody have any knowledge of easier routes through the French alps? - Does anybody have recommendations as to where we may be able to purchase second hand gear or hire a bike touring set up that isn’t crazy expensive?? Thank you!!!

Hi, I'm not sure if this is right subreddit, let me know where I should post. For last year I've been riding my Trek DualSport and I love it. But now I know exactly what is my thing and where and how I want to ride, but I can't seem to find perfect bicycle for this purpose. To the point, I'm rather bike tourer, I use front and back racks with panniers, sometimes I take my kid in kid seat. I thought gravel would be perfect, but after thorough investigating of gear ratios, it turned out that I won't benefit at all, because most of gravels aims at high speed rather than gears for ascends. Also type of terrain I ride is full of sand and tree roots and I'm afraid drop bar will not make it stable to ride fully packed. So far I've found Marlin Pine Mountain z that seems really nice, has lots of mounting points for bags and such, but is there any other option available in Europe? Giant Fathom has bit more mounting options for bottle cages in frame, but I can't see much more options of other MTB bike that could be suitable for touring in this type. Is there anything that I've missed?

Hi, I want to do some bike touring with my road bike. I have a new Canyon Endurace. I don´t have any experience with changing tubes of my bike. Can you recommend some guide for how to fix broken components or fix a tire during a tour. And what products would you recommend me to buy, like spare tubes and the tools for taking them with me on every ride. So I can fix most problems on the go. And how to store them on the bike. If you have any experience or tips, any help is greatly appreciated :)

Hey all, I would love if you could help me out on choosing bicycle. I narrowed my choices down to these two: Ghost Nirvana Tour SF Essential 2021 Radon ZR Team 8.0 2022 and maybe even : Cube Attention SL 2022 So which one of those would you pick? According to 99spokes site, Nirvana Ghost has better fork and Radon has better shifter. But they are almost even when it comes to other stuff. I have been riding bicycles for 15 years but never really been "components guy" i didnt give a damn what components had the bike, so I never really researched on what component brands are the good ones. I live in Germany, it´s mostly flat here, with only forest paths and trails, no mountains of course. I intend to ride in those forest paths and city roads, so I would like the bike that would do well in commuting and touring. So based on that which one of those two or perhaps three bicycles would you pick? Or if you have some other good recommendations for bicycles that are under 1000 euro I would be glad to take them into a consideration.

For the last 2 years I have been fascinated by the idea of riding the entirety of the Flint Hills Trail and Katy Trail and everything in between to create a week long bikepacking/bike touring adventure. This year I did it! I rode from Machens, MO at the east end of the Katy to Council Grove, KS on the west end of the Flint Hills Nature Trail on a 455 mile 8 day journey. It was an awesome, challenging experience. Here are my route maps if anyone would like them: [https://ridewithgps.com/collections/50833?privacy\_code=WozQzboFBQ3M2ZOH](https://ridewithgps.com/collections/50833?privacy_code=WozQzboFBQ3M2ZOH) I would love to know if anyone has done anything similar. I would also to love to know any suggestions/ideas people have for improving my route. I think it would be cool to create a route to share that anyone could use. I am making videos that show some of my experiences and the scenery along the way! I have completed the videos for day 1 and 2.

After an extraordinary 41st Birthday spent w/ my youngest brother on stage 32 of the #TDF, i made my best [YouTube video](https://youtu.be/TEncbrO3Eq0)in awhile. Gimme a subscription for my birthday 🥳 I was 38 when i had the #kidneystoneofhope in Nov2019, #outofthemountainofdespairastoneofhope. I turned 39 right after beginning cycling April2020. I trained and was ready to leave Maryland for New Orleans and was doing final local stages when i broke 2 vertebrae Feb2021 (see old YouTube vid “L’ingenue vol2”). I WAS SO DEJECTED I DIDNT TURN 40 on the cross country portion of #tdf as planned. I had gone from 400mile wks during training to 0mi, and fell off an endorphin cliff. My doctor (not #mlk this time:) said something so profound when i was bitching in April 2021 at a follow up appt., “I’m supposed to be in New Orleans right now,” exasperated like a child. “HEY! You gotta forget that. That’s the OLD plan. Now you’re on the NEW plan: keep following my orders like u been doin, and do absolutely as little as possible, so you can heal perfectly and you will be back to your previous fitness from retraining in no time and you WILL be in New Orleans right when you’re supposed to be,” she profoundly surmised in Solomonic wisdom.. Welp, i just had my first birthday while bike touring, and what a fantastic day ;) #everythinginitsrightplace Climbed Lookout Mountain, did some lookin around, of course, and then more importantly, descended #lookoutmountain Only hit 39mph, but what a gorgeous bluebird day in the Rockies!! What a fun ride! #41andclimbing Then my youngest brother put his ass into an incredible birthday cake and dinner with appetizer. I haven’t had anyone make me a birthday cake in many many years, while i wallowed in undiagnosed and unaddressed depression. As i reflected about that this evening, it was so sad to think about others still struggling with mental health, not getting birthday cakes made by loved ones as they listen to lies they tell themselves about their mental and physical health. Love yourself, friends. Life gets so much better.. ;) #tourdefriends #thanksfriends

I see many more knockoffs of the 3D print saddles. Any proving more successful than others? Especially in narrow width. Alternatives may interest me. Currently on Selle SMP, older, on eBike and touring bike. Somewhat wide between the thighs. Might be newer versions. $$$ Long-distance bike now has Sella SLR Boost. Very good, very nice, but not that comfy. Just stays that level of not that comfy all day! So about that size. Is perfectly adequate, but I get the impression there must be better. Want to like Brooks etc leather. Have some. Rode lots. Too wide ultimately, and heavy. Tend to flare and irritate between thighs, or spread too much if laced up. My old Swallow was pretty good, but died. ​ ​ ​

Photogenic is a must. Anywhere in the 10-40 mile range, either out 'n' back or a loop would be great. Where should I go?

EDIT: Thanks, all, for dating all the things is tell someone else who asked the same thing. Somebody 5'6" please buy that frame and give it the live it deserves! -------------- I should get a few things out of the way. 1. I don't NEED a new bike 2. I have a fully modern road bike that serves me well for all my real road bike needs. I also have a rigid hardtail set up as my go anywhere bikepacking gravel rig. Finally, I have an old shiny chrome Schwinn that fills the "cruise around on something cool down by the beach" niche. 3. but n+1 4. I've always wanted an early 80s Trek 720 So somebody is selling a New Old Stock 720 frame right now on eBay. It's overpriced, but I'm wondering if I can talk the seller down a bit. Even the decals are pristine, and I could build it exactly the way I want to, but it is absolutely, positively too small. I'm 5'9" with short legs, so I tend to fit 54cm top tubes well (55 if I'm feeling really flexible). This is an 18.5 inch frame, with a top tube of 52cm. The low standover would be great for my stubby little sumo legs, but I worry that the amount I would need to stem out the front end could be a problem, especially if, knowing myself, I'm going to deck it out in old Campy. Thoughts? And yes, I probably alerted somebody who wants exactly that frame just now, but if you buy it, that solves the problem for me. :-)

I'm about to change to a job with a great 14-mile each way commute on a paved rail to trail (there's 1.5 miles on a fine gravel that I can bypass on a road if I want to). I'll have about 3/4 mile on a road with a nice shoulder. I don't want to take my Salsa Warbird to work because it's pretty expensive with nice wheels so I prefer not to lock it outside even though it's a boring office park with likely minimal crime....and my Surly Krampus is set up with big tires so here I am at the n+1 moment, with some justification. I'd like this bike to be steel. Something with the ability to do credit card light touring. But mostly just commute to work with some speed and with my laptop and lunch (when it's not raining). Considering getting a Surly Straggler. Open to other choices. Prefer this to be a 1x for longevity and simplicity. Kind of prefer Shimano just because my spare parts are all in Shimano...but if I had my choice on that, I'd go Ekar because I have a soft Campy spot, but I am not convinced on any groupset for this. Also like a little more upright position...because I'm an older dude. I'm leaning drop bars because of the length of the ride but open to people saying I should think about the straight bar bikes. Open to thoughts for suggestions on a reliable steel machine and group specs. Also the drop vs straight bar discussion. About $2,000 budget max.

I found this bike at a garage sale a couple years ago and scored it for $20. I rode it as is off and on but never very much. Last summer my cousin came up to work for the summer (we’re in Alaska) and put some decent miles on it, and by fall the old girl really needed some love. The rear brake cable stay had broken, the derailleurs weren’t working, the tires were worn out, etc. The previous owner toured all over the lower 48 on it and had changed to Shimano biopace chainwheels which are in good shape. A new chain, new tubes and tires, new brake levers and cables, and a new saddle plus a tune up and she’s ready to ride again.

I'd like to buy a bike now and spend a few years getting to know the ins and out of it and how to do maintenance. I'm 5 foot tall (I know size matters) I've been recommended Colombus Steel, but I don't want to buy anything before making sure that it's the best choice for me.

Hi, I returned to cycling last year after a long hiatus, getting back to shape one step at a time and riding old (20+yo) steel commuter with sachs super 7 internal gear hub (never had a derailleur in my life, so I don't know what to expect), as I'm drawn to bicycle touring for now i explore every nook and cranny around my town from oaved roads to gravel and sandy paths. And hope to get into traveling on bike seriously in near future. I'm really drawn to the idea of buying newer bike, but it would be kind of huge investment for me at the moment, so I wonder, as an out of shape heavy guy, will i get noticeable difference with modern bike or should i just enjoy retro stuff until I loose some weight, get back some of the lost endurance points, conquer climbs mire painfully (around 25 gear inches on lowest gear) and only then get into bikepacking/touring gear properly? yea most will say N+1 rule, new bike is always more enjoyable due to psychological reasons etc., but if it won't give ke any noticable "buffs" I would be inclined to postpone the purchase. P.S. kind of leaning towards dechatlons Riverside touring 520, looks like solid entry level touring/bikepacking bike, especially when there are almost no alternatives in local bikeshops to try out objectively

Salsa Marrakesh - drop bar top tube length, but looks to have been stock. 54 cm. I ignored anything but feel, ended up with saddle back a good ways, Koyote bars grips about 100 mm closer to saddle center of adjustment than hoods on drop bar bikes, and bar grips about 100 mm higher than the saddle. I'm very upright, far back, and comfortable. A kite in the wind, though, and the bike doesn't really like it unless I load the front. Then it's fine. Not at all sure I'm happy with this. I'm sure people have ridden vast distances on non-drop bar touring bikes. I have straightish bars, these 27.5 degree sweep bars, trekking butterfly bars, and lots of stems to adjust things. Also have bar end shifters that will substitute for the current MTB shifters. So I can play around. What observations, suggestions, pointers to suitable blogs and sights do the flat-bar-touring experts out there have that might help me? I've ridden drop bar touring bikes for 50 years, and can continue to do so (I could easily fit drops to this Marrakesh), but like the view and lack of neck strain. What saddles (other than the B17, which I have one of) might the experienced recommend for a more-upright bike, at least what general configuration of saddle? I'm running Selle SMP, SLR Boost, and Titanium Flite (old style) at the moment, with success, but perhaps not optimal comfort. Thanks so much for any insight you can give. I've overthought this enough that I might not be rational!!!!

Tour of Flanders Hello, next week I will ride the tour of flanders with some friend. It’s 262 km long with 17 short climbs (2000 altimeters) and around 20 km of cobbles. I have a foodplan for on the bike, but I have no idea what I must eat the days before my challenge. Any help or tips?

I have been doing a lot of research and trying to plan a "medium" trip to France to bike some parts of Tour de France. Unfortunately I haven't found too many resources online for DIY tours and thought it'd be worth a shot to try here. Did you rent a car and just bike to the bottom of each mountain stage? Did you bikepack the whole thing? How did you find lodging for along the route? etc For what it's worth, I am planning to go around the first half of July. Yes, I know the actual event is happening, but unfortunately that is the only time I would be able to go so I have to just plan a bit more carefully to avoid actually coinciding with race days.
