Our Around The World Touring Bicycles (14,000 miles so far!)
We’ve spent the last 16 months touring across the USA and Europe on bicycles we assembled ourselves. This video is a quick technical breakdown of the components and bags we’re using for our trip. This setup has served us well and been relatively maintenance free. We aren’t sponsored by any of the brands we mention in the video.
The overall cost of each bicycle was around $4,500 including all the bags, racks, and components you see in the video. While you can definitely do an around the world bicycle tour on a much cheaper setup, we decided on these bikes because we wanted a reliable and low maintenance build that would hold up for years on rough roads all over the world.
