Not sure what you are saying. I consider it bike touring if I'm riding a bike for a vacation or overnight or longer trip. In this case, I had to be driven to the airport in a car, fly in an airplane, get picked up by the hotel shuttle, and take a couple trains to accomplish my goal of seeing the Tour de France and some of Switzerland. The same will happen in reverse to get home. This is part of bike touring. Most, if not all, people would agree. All bike riding was done under my own power, but transporting the bike, gear and myself was not possible door to door without using other means of getting around.
