Simplicity and Robustness

Intended for travel and long excursions, the touring bike is ideal for cycle tourism and swallowing up the miles. Equipped with a robust frame (mostly steel), allowing the installation of luggage and saddlebags , it is generally without frills and equipped with simple and effective equipment (no fragile advanced technology). It favors a simple transmission that can be adapted to all gradients.

Equipped with wide tires, the touring bike is made to adapt to several types of surfaces. It is generally intended to install one or more luggage racks and favors a comfortable saddle .

Remember to equip yourself well before long hikes! Hirondelle Bike Shop recommends that you wear cycling shorts and mittens to avoid chafing as well as a good rain jacket . To avoid fatigue, consider installing one or more bottle cages on the bike.

As always, think about safety by equipping yourself with a helmet and lights .
