The essential bike travel gear list for long-distance bicycle expeditions anywhere in the world
My cycle touring kit list is compiled from a decade of adventures around the world. It’s a handpicked collection of essential bike touring gear from RTW cycle touring expeditions. I’ll be the first to admit that while I have a Spartan attitude to what’s needed to complete a successful bike tour, there are a few essential items that can make a long-term bike adventure more comfortable by orders of magnitude. In this bike travel kit list, I’ll share some of those discretionary purchases alongside the absolutely must-haves that cost little but are everyday lifesavers.
