Here are my two touring bikes!
My
Peter Mooney custom touring bike - on my very first solo (loaded) tour.
My Bike Friday Air Glide touring bike - with suitcase trailer attached, all ready to hit the road. And yes, I really did ride this bike
across the United States back in the summer of 2002!
I'm lucky to own two touring bikes that I really like, and I do still ride both of them. I should like these bikes - both were custom-built, so the fit is great. If I have to take my bike on an airplane then I have a tendency to use the Bike Friday - no excess baggage fees, and the case turns into the trailer. If I'm traveling to my tour in my car, then I have a real choice! And of course I can't choose based on color since the bikes are both beautiful shades of purple!
