About the Book

Pick the right bicycle for your travels and you'll be sure to come home with those wonderful bicycle touring memories you've been dreaming about. But pick the wrong bicycle and your trip could be over before it has even had a chance to begin.

The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles is a short, descriptive book designed to teach you about:

  • The features, components and characteristics that are unique to touring bicycles.
  • The five main styles of touring bikes.
  • The different metals used in touring bicycle frames (and why they are so important).
  • Words and definitions you should know before purchasing a touring bicycle.
  • The different types of touring bicycle brakes, handlebars, shifters and gears.
  • How to find the right size bicycle for your body type.
  • Things to look out for when purchasing a new touring bicycle.
  • And a tip that could save you hundreds of dollars when purchasing your new bicycle touring vehicle.


Written by Bicycle Touring Pro, Darren Alff, The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles is a book that every cyclist should read before purchasing a touring bicycle of any kind.

This is a book for people who are totally new to touring bicycles - not a book for experienced bicycle riders.

CONDUCT THE BICYCLE TOUR OF YOUR DREAMS

The dream you are likely having involves going on a bicycle tour and having magical experiences you will remember for the rest of your life. Experiences so incredible you will tell your friends and family about them for years to come.

The reality, however, might be that you never complete your bike tour, because you picked the wrong touring bicycle - a bicycle that wasn't built for the kind of bike tour you were participating in - and you were unable to return home with those magical memories you were hoping for.

What many first-time bicycle tourists don't realize is that there are several different types of bicycles made for bicycle touring. There are touring bicycles made for short day trips around your home; fast, sporty touring bicycles made for racing and light touring; and an entire separate breed of touring bicycles made to carry you and your gear all the way around the world. Plus, there are bicycles made for all kinds of other types of bike rides (that aren't designed for bicycle touring at all).

Let the Bicycle Touring Pro help you find your ideal touring bicycle!

The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles is a book designed to teach you about the different types of touring bicycles, their various uses, and most importantly - to help you select the right bicycle for the type of bicycle tour that you wish to participate in.

With The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles, you will not only learn about what to look for in your next touring bike, but you will be given access to the world's largest collection of touring bicycles (included for free with this book)- a detailed directory where you will be introduced to more than 130 different types of touring bicycles made in various countries all over the world.

From this database of 130+ bicycles, the author will help you narrow down your selection and find the touring bicycle that will help to make your bicycle touring dreams come true.

The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles comes with three free digital bonus gifts (worth more than $25 USD):

1) A bonus eBook called "A Buyer's Guide To Bicycle Touring Panniers & Trailers"

2) An hour-long video recording where the author speaks at great length about touring bicycles, panniers and trailers.

3) And access to the world's largest touring bicycle database (where more than 130 touring bicycles are shown in great detail with their name, photo, product description, price and more).
About the Author: Darren Alff is the founder of www.bicycletouringpro.com, the world's most trusted bicycle touring resource for beginner, intermediate and experienced bicycle travelers. With more than 1,000 free articles, interviews and videos about bicycle touring currently available on the website, Darren now has more than 500,000 individuals from all around the world looking to him for the advice, inspiration and how-to information needed to conduct a bicycle tour of any length.

Darren is also the founder of www.gobicycletouring.com - a fun and stylish website that allows you to quickly and easily find the best guided and self-guided bicycle tours on the planet.

Darren Alff went from being a 17-year old high-school kid, riding across America on a decrepit old mountain bike, to the Bicycle Touring Pro, after having bicycled across North America six separate times and cycling across dozens of different countries all around the world. Now he's teaching others about the secrets to bicycle touring success!

His how-to bicycle touring book, The Bicycle Traveler's Blueprint has sold thousands of copies all around the world and is considered to be the definitive guide to self-supported bicycle touring. The Bicycle Traveler's Blueprint is truly a step-by-step bicycle touring guide, handed to you on a silver platter.

In addition, Darren is the author of two other popular cycling books: Stretching for Cyclists & Winter Cycling
