Bike ride around the world

Post by tombruce »

You might be interested in the bike ride around the world I did. Through Europe (along the Danube most of the way), the Caucuses, Central Asia including the Pamir Highway, China and the USA. More info and photos at http://www.tombrucecycling.com

Is a RTW bike a "Ride to Work" bike? :)

See you on the Bear Bones with Sandy (my RTW bike)
I assume you won't be packing quite so much gear Tom?
May the bridges you burn light your way

You assume right! Although rear wheel traction is incredible with 23 kg of water over the back wheel...

Will be running with handlebar bag and stuff strapped on top of a rear rack I think. Had to rebuild rear wheel last night, was up til 2 doing it. Servicing disc brakes tonight. Hope it all holds together. Can't wait
