Long distance bicycle touring equipment list
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
A rather speedy list of most of the items I carried on yesterday's overnight bike trip, and is most of what I intend to carry across the United States on a trip this summer. There's also quick review of a number of items that I haven't seen reviews of anywhere else. If anyone wants further reviews of anything, just let me know.

Pretty big sewing kit. Maybe more than just sewing? Also, that compass is huge! Where are you going that you need that big compass? I like that REI jacket. Leg and arm warmers, yes! I guess you don't cook on the way, not pots, no stove. Thanks for sharing how you do it, I hope you had a great trip.

hello Orange kitty!

Thank you for sharing! Always nice to see what people pack for new ideas. Those solar panels are going to be on my list. Music is my fuel too, so unlimited music seems very nice.

Eat healthy and get regular exercise...............
Riding a bike is fun and good exercise.........walking, bicycles, mass transit and electric vehicles will all be part of making cities livable. Ride to school.........ride to work.........ride for fun...........
Bike to work day should be everyday..... employers need to provide places to park and lock bicycles and encourage employees to ride a bicycle to work. Children should be riding a bike to school instead of being dropped off by their parents. Cities need to do more to provide safe walking and biking trails and paths that connect homes, schools and businesses. Speak up and ask for more bicycle paths in your community. Obesity is a growing problem around the world leading to an increase in heart disease, cancer and high blood pressure. Walking and biking can help improve health. Buy a child a bicycle......your son, daughter, niece, nephew, grandchild or donate one to a local charity as a fund raiser giveaway. You will change a life............ -
Sorry but you lost me at about 1 minute in. Too much waffle. How much long-distance touring have you actually done? Your gear seems pretty new?

Hey Rob Fox! great channel, SUBSCRIBED!!
I am currently planning my first long distance tour across North America and found your kit list to be very helpful. I will be documenting my adventure on my website, as well and through video journals on YouTube. Here is my first trip-teaser vlog:

Networking is key when planning and executing a trip like this and any other help or advice, even if its just subscribing back or liking my videos, would be so helpful. Keep up the great videos!!

Great Video... Thank you!
I was wondering what Goal Zero charger you have? Additionally, do you travel with a laptop, and is the charger be able to support it? -
Thanx for the awesome vid, Rob! Do you know if those front wheel hub recharging generators are as good as the solar kind? Never did any touring yet, but just love long day rides here in Colorado. Well, thanx again for the great video and be safe out there!

Hi Rob, I am planning on doing the Pacific Coast Trial, Vancouver to Mexico, as a #beablackburnranger2016. What do you think, do I have what it takes to win one of the six spots? Here is my tryout video. Your information was a lot of help in some of my earlier ridges, just to see if I would like it, I did!~ https://youtu.be/ha1_CkCPd9g

What about tubes and tires and spokes and repair gear? I've watched just about every bicycling video on Youtube and have only come across ONE guy that crossed the USA showing more than twenty flats as well as busted spokes and cranks.

What about tunes and tires and spokes and repair gear?

I wonder why touring cyclists go sleep in the woods and tour through so remote roads without carrying a little pistol! Keep one just in case if you get attacked by a dump animal or even dumper punk ass human being. You don't have to use it. Just carry it for protection. Only use it when you have no choice.

Great video! Did I understand it correctly that you do not ride with a tent?
-
Very good , thanks for the tips.

Hi Rob,
I'm so new in "touring bike" and searching for info. Then, your video came up. Thanks for sharing this good stuff.
I guess that you are living in DC metro area. Me too. I wonder, if so, would you let me see your bike set up? -
Shouldn't you be putting more weight (front panniers) on the front than the rear since your weight is on the rear as well? Or did you prefer to free up the steering while you're touring?

thanks- i like the advice of double tying the solar panels, in case one level of ties would fail; and i like the tip on wearing white arm covers instead of sunscreen

Great list, I went through this in planning my next trip where I'm cycling for 3 months going Coast to Coast of USA (my last tour was across Europe but was 3 years ago). I'm going to be doing a Vlog as well as uploading my fundraising videos. Please subscribe if you would like to see more about my trip.
