Last updated: October 2026 — bike types, long-distance touring, repair systems, helmet safety, visibility, transport rules, luggage, and expedition logistics have been reviewed, while the original travel-by-bike perspective is preserved.
Our planet is much larger than it looks like on the globe. Its surface with all the points of interest is so diverse. The faster you travel, the less you can see, touch, and feel. If you travel by plane, you can reach the other side of the Earth for 1-2 days, but you can see almost nothing on your way. By train, bus, or car you can see more things on the way, but traveling is not that fast. And traveling by bike is much slower, but you can enjoy many more things on your way. Besides, you can travel on roads and trails that larger vehicles can’t go. So, exploring the Earth by bike has its good sides, attracting many travelers. Let’s take a look at some important and basic cycling tips, to prepare for a great cycling journey.

Traveling by bike essentials
Many people like cycling, but not all of them think about it as a way of traveling. In other words, some people enjoy cycling just as a sport. They can do it on a static bike as a fitness device, or just would circle a stadium for exercise or speed contest. Some cycling travelers do it too, but only as a preparation for a real journey. So, now we will focus on real biking travel. And it has its pros and cons. Let’s get into details.
Cycling pros
Cycling has many features that attract travelers. They still focus on the travel, and a bike is only a tool for their trip, not the center of the trip. And it is a good tool that can provide a unique experience which no other way of travel can provide.
- Enjoying the scenery in more detail. By bike, you can travel with a certain speed which is slower than the speed of motor vehicles (in most cases, but not always!), so you can look around and see more things on your way.
- Discover new places. Cycling is a great way to explore new places. You can cover more ground on a bike than you can on foot, so you can see more of the country or city that you’re visiting. There are also many cycle-friendly countries, where cycling is a popular way to get around. Croatia is among the top of such countries and if you happen to be there, taking cycling tours around Croatia can be a great way to see the country and experience its culture and natural beauty. The challenging rides with like-minded travelers will be an unforgettable experience for you.
- You can stop much more easily than with a car. One of the great advantages of cycling is the freedom to pause for a view, food, repairs, or exploration without searching for a large parking space. But cyclists are still road users: do not stop where you obstruct traffic, reduce visibility, enter private or restricted land, or create danger for yourself and others.
- Diving into the environment. While you ride your bike, you can breathe the fresh air, smell fragrant of forest, grass, village, food, and other sources. You can also touch and try everything on your way.
Enjoying the descents. Descending can be one of the most enjoyable parts of cycling, but it also requires concentration. Control speed before corners, watch the road surface and traffic, keep enough braking reserve, and avoid entering long or steep descents faster than the terrain and your brakes can safely handle. - You can go where larger vehicles can’t go. A bicycle can use narrow roads, forest tracks, alleys, and many trails inaccessible to cars. However, always distinguish between a ban on riding and a ban on bicycle access altogether. In some places you may legally dismount and push; in others, bicycles are prohibited entirely because of pedestrian, conservation, private-property, or safety rules.
- You can do it in the mountain– if there is a rugged section of a trail, which is difficult for riding, you can just proceed on foot for a while pushing your bike, then proceed to ride as normal.
- Saving money. Bicycles don’t need petrol, parking fees (only with some exceptions), and toll fees. Yes, you may have some expenses, but in general, they are only for repair, or for transporting by train or bus if necessary.
- Exercise. Finally, it is a sports activity, good for your health. And instead of doing only inside a stadium, by travel, you can add a lot more around you.
Cycling cons
Of course, not everything is great while you ride a bicycle. Otherwise, everybody would travel by bike. Here are the cons of cycling travel:
- Time. Traveling by bike is slow. Yes, slow traveling has its good side, but the problem is our time. Most of the people, including travelers have scheduled times, vacation time limits, visa expiration, etc. I would really wish to enjoy a limitless time, but in the reality, it is almost impossible. Even those who go on a biking expedition like crossing Europe from UK to Istanbul, still have to consider the seasons and be on time to the proper place during the proper season.
- Danger on the heavy traffic roads. This is maybe the biggest problem for bikers. If some bikers happen to lose their life or at least be injured badly, it happens on such roads. It is especially dangerous when the road is narrow and there is not enough space for the biker. You have to avoid such roads to protect your life. And even if you can’t avoid it, at least you have to think like a car driver.
- Bike stealing. It is probably not everywhere in the world, but in most cases, it is a real danger. If you want to enter a building- a supermarket, a restaurant, a museum, or something else, you have to lock your bike outside. But even this can’t guarantee 100% protection. Some smart thieves can use strong cutters that can cut almost every lock, and they can do it very quickly. It can be also a problem at the night. You camp beside the road, wake up in the morning and your bike has gone.
- Atmosphere. Breathing fresh air, smelling the fragrance of the environment is nice, but the atmospheric conditions that you are exposed to are not always friendly. First, if there is a strong wind, it can be a problem. Yes, if you ride in the same direction as the wind, it is a pleasure, because the wind helps you. But when you ride against the wind, it can be exhausting. Cold weather, especially with rain or snow can make you feel freezing unless you are well equipped. Also, riding on snow and ice is very difficult, in some cases impossible.
- Vulnerability (and dogs). When you ride a bicycle, you are more vulnerable than in a car, bus or train. It is especially true about dogs. Dogs have such an instinct- they often chase after fast-moving objects. Sometimes they chase passing cars, but you are protected there. They can attack hikers, but if hikers know what to do without panic, usually they can avoid biting. However, bikers move fast, and they are unprotected. If a dog starts chasing you, the best response depends on the situation. Avoid accelerating blindly into traffic or rough terrain. If necessary, slow down or stop, place the bicycle between you and the dog, and move away from livestock or property that the dog may be guarding.
- Falling. It is seldom, but still possible. Falling can happen if you stop too quickly, or if you have problems with your brakes. Also, descending by bike is exciting, but if the slope is too steep and rugged, you can fall badly. And when you fall, you can easily break your arm. This can’t happen in the car or a normal hike.
Luggage limit. You can’t bring too many things with you. Yes, you can travel by bike supplied with a rack or saddlebags, and it can allow bigger luggage. But at the same time, it makes your bike heavier, and you can especially feel it when you ascend on a slope. - Exhaustion. Finally, when you cycle, you use your own energy. And it is not limitless. Sooner or later you can feel too tired to proceed and would need a rest, especially if you have to “fight” against a strong wind or a slope.
So, as you can see, traveling by bike can be a very exciting experience, but not without problems. And you would always try to avoid these problems to increase the pleasure of it. You can make just a short bike trip in a city or nature, or you can go on a long expedition crossing a continent.
Three types of cycling travel
In general, there are three types of cycling travel, depending on where is your cycling route. You can cycle in a city (or a village), on a road, or in nature. These places are different and the challenges you face there, are different too.
City cycling
This is the easiest place to cycle. Or at least, the place with the least requirements. You can travel by plane, train, or bus, stop in a city and find a hotel. Then you can just find a rental bike company, take your bicycle, and cycle around the city. You don’t need to bring your luggage, as it can stay in the hotel. Also, most of the time you will ride slowly. And you even don’t need a special bike- a simple city bicycle would be enough. In fact, almost every bicycle would be ok to use.
Today, many big cities in the world provide public bikes that you can find everywhere in the city, use their payment system, and ride them wherever you want. Yes, in many cases, the most difficult part is how to make the payment to unlock the bicycle. Once you do it, it is very convenient, because you don’t need to worry about stealing. When you have to enter a building (a supermarket, a museum or other), you just leave it on the street, and when you go out, just find another bicycle. In fact, if the city you visit is on your long-distance biking route, you should better leave your bike in the hotel and use only public bicycles.
But out of the city, things are different.
Road cycling
Here I mean cycling on paved roads out of the cities. If you need speed, here is the place. You still can’t cycle faster than the cars, but you can be much faster than the bikers in the city, or those on a mountain trail.
A road bike is optimized for efficiency on good pavement: it is usually lighter, has narrow high-pressure tires, and allows higher cruising speeds than a mountain or city bike. However, real travel speed varies enormously with fitness, wind, gradient, traffic, luggage, road surface, and how often you stop. A strong rider on good roads may cover well over 100 km in a day, but this should never be treated as a standard distance for every traveler.
You can also travel long distances on paved roads with a mountain, hybrid, touring, or city bike, but rolling resistance, riding position, gearing, luggage, and tire choice will affect your pace. For expedition planning, it is better to estimate daily distance from terrain, elevation gain, weather, surface quality, and load rather than from bicycle category alone.
Cycling in nature
This is my favorite place of cycling. Here I mean dirt roads or trails. It can be in a plain area, on hills or deep in the mountain. Speed is much lower, the terrain is diverse and sometimes you may need to stop and push your bike.
Rough trails, mud, loose stones, roots, and technical mountain terrain still favor a mountain bike, mainly because of its wider tires, strong wheels, suitable gearing, and often suspension. But not every unpaved road requires an MTB. Gravel bikes, touring bikes with wider tires, and many bikepacking setups work very well on firm dirt roads and moderate gravel. The right choice depends more on the actual surface than on whether a route is simply labeled “unpaved.”
A traditional touring bike remains one of the most versatile choices for long-distance travel, especially when the route follows paved roads and moderate gravel and when you want to carry substantial luggage. But it is no longer the only obvious expedition option. Modern gravel bikes, rigid all-terrain bikes, hardtail mountain bikes, and dedicated bikepacking setups can be better when the route contains rougher terrain or when you prefer lighter luggage.
Of course, there are still some places on the Earth that no bike can be used. If these places are small, in some cases you can just push your bike to cross such section, then proceed cycling. But usually much practical would be if you just leave your bike and proceed in another way through such an area.
So, let’s back to the roads and places where you can cycle, and focus on the proper bikes that you should use.
Proper bikes
As you can see, in general, there are three types of bikes that you can use for travel. But only one of them can be proper for all kinds of cycling travel, and even this type is not perfect, according to the table below:
So, let’s take a look at the first type of bicycle- the city bike.
City bike
City bikes are the best for a big city on a plain. In such a city you would need to stop often on crossroads, waiting for the green light, or you need to ride slowly. Many cities in the world today are supplied with bike lanes, where you can ride faster, but again, you don’t need to be too fast.
These bikes are usually lightweight. They can be designed for men, for women, and kids, with various wheel diameters accordingly. There are bikes with one speed or with a multi-speed system. If the city you ride is flat, you don’t need a multi-speed system, but if the city is built on a mountain, there are sloped streets that you have to ascend, and changing the speed would help you.
Below you can see some of the best city bikes:
So, all these bikes are great for exploring a city, but slow for long-distance trips (yes, those with a multi-speed system can be faster, but still not the best), and quite improper for dirt roads in nature.
Let’s see the second type of bikes- road bikes.
Road bike
Road bikes are designed for speed. To achieve it, they are made as more as possible lightweight, with narrow tires. Another feature of the road bikes is their rudder, usually bended downward, so the biker should be more inclined ahead. This is to increase their aerodynamics and to decrease friction. Thus, you can reach a speed of 40-50 km/h, even more. They are best if you want to travel the world on paved roads.
All of these bikes are designed with a multi-speed system, so you can easily ascend on sloped roads. In fact, you can climb a mountain (but again, only on paved roads), then descend from it. You can pass long distances within a day, even if you ride against the wind. And again, they are designed for men, for women, and kids.
Let’s see some of the best road bikes for 2020.
Of course, you can ride such a bike in a city (and most probably you have to leave a city to reach another city), but since you have to stop often or ride slowly, it would be not the best, compared to the city bikes. As for dirt roads, as I mentioned above, road bikes are not proper. They would not only sink deeper in soft ground but also can be easily damaged if the trail is covered by stones.
For such terrain, you need a mountain bike.
Mountain bike
Mountain bikes are designed for rugged terrain. Their most essential feature is the thick tire. With such a tire, you can’t achieve too high speed, but in the mountain, you actually don’t need it. But you can ride on various kinds of trails and dirt roads- on a soft muddy surface, stony surface, grass, dirt, dust, and of course, on normal paved roads too.
Again, these bikes are always supplied with a multi-speed system. They are a bit heavier than the road and city bikes, but that’s not a big problem. Another important feature of the mountain bikes is their shock absorbers. You would definitely need them on a bumpy surface, not only for your comfort but also for the protection of your bike.
Mountain bikes are usually more expensive than the other bikes. But there are still some cheaper examples. Let’s see some of the best cheap mountain bikes below.
However, if you are looking for really the best (and inevitably expensive) mountain bikes, take a look here.
Mountain bikes are good for a short biking expedition because only by such a bike you can ride on dirt roads and rugged terrain, at the same time you still can ride in a city, and on the paved roads (just with lower speed). Although they are called “mountain bikes”, of course, they can be used on dirt roads in plain fields, along the sea coast, in plain forests, etc. But there is another kind of bike, especially designed for long-distance trips- the touring bike.
Touring bike
If you want to cross a continent, and don’t want to ride only on roads, you need a touring bike. Like the mountain bike, it has thick tires, but its design is different. Here you don’t seek speed as the road bikes, don’t seek simplicity as the city bike, and don’t seek high passability as the mountain bike. But you seek an opportunity to bring as more luggage as possible, for a long time journey.
Touring bikes are usually designed around stability, low gearing, durable wheels, and multiple mounting points for racks, bottles, and luggage. Traditional models are often rigid rather than suspended, which keeps the system simple and efficient. Their real advantage is not unlimited carrying capacity but predictable handling under load. The heavier the luggage becomes, the more climbing, braking, pushing, and rough-terrain control are affected.
The important thing is not whether a touring bike is marketed for men or women, but whether the frame and contact points fit the rider correctly. Frame size, reach, handlebar position, saddle, gearing, and riding posture matter far more on a multi-day journey than the marketing category printed on the bicycle.

So, all these bikes are great, especially the mountain and the touring bikes which can be used everywhere (where bikes can go). Some of these bikes are hybrid, with features of other kinds of bikes. But there is an important question- how to arrange a long-distance trip or an expedition by bike?
Plan the route for the bicycle, not only for the map
A road or trail that looks continuous on a map may be unsuitable for a loaded bicycle because of traffic, surface, gradients, stairs, river crossings, seasonal mud, snow, private land, or legal restrictions. Before a long trip, check not only distance but also elevation gain, surface type, resupply points, water, repair options, public-transport escape routes, and whether bicycles are actually allowed on each section.
For expedition cycling, terrain often determines the real daily distance much more strongly than the number of kilometers shown on the map.
How to arrange a long-distance expedition with bike
Here is the problem. You want to explore a country- let’s say France. And you want to make it by bike. You are from the USA, you have a good touring bike, but the only way to use it for a France bike tour is to transport it somehow to the starting point in France. It is not so cheap, so probably a better option is to rent a local bike.
Transportation by plane
Most airlines allow ordinary bicycles as checked sports or oversized baggage, but packing rules, dimensions, weight limits, reservation requirements, and fees vary substantially. Always check the exact airline and ticket conditions before travel rather than assuming that a folding bike is automatically easier to accept. Remove or protect vulnerable parts such as pedals, derailleur, handlebars, and brake components according to the carrier’s packing rules.
E-bike warning: Transporting an e-bike by air is a completely different problem because of its lithium battery. Large e-bike batteries normally exceed the limits used for ordinary passenger baggage, and many airlines will not accept them as normal checked or cabin baggage. Battery rules must be checked separately with the airline before booking. IATA also requires spare lithium batteries and power banks to remain in carry-on baggage rather than checked luggage. IATA — passenger baggage rules.
Transportation by train or bus
Train and bus bicycle policies vary enormously between countries and operators. Some trains have dedicated bicycle spaces that require advance booking; others accept only folded or bagged bicycles, and some services do not take full-size bikes at all. Long-distance buses are even more operator-dependent. Check the exact service, not only the transport company, because bicycle rules can differ between routes and vehicle types.
Transportation by car
You can rent a car, but the problem is that you would need a transportation rack for your bike. Unfortunately, rental car companies usually don’t offer racks (although you can ask, there could be some exceptions), and it would be too inconvenient and costly to bring your own rack. So, an option could be to find a local rental bike shop and hire only a rack from them (if you are coming with your bike). The problem is that again it is highly unpredictable.
Transportation by ferry
Car ferries are often one of the easiest ways to move a bicycle across water because many accept cyclists as separate passengers or vehicles. But this is not universal, and smaller passenger boats, hydrofoils, seasonal services, and high-speed craft may have stricter limits. Check bicycle acceptance before relying on a ferry as part of a continuous route.
Expedition logistics
Now we are coming to the most complex type of traveling- a combined expedition which includes various ways to travel- planes, boats, trains, buses, cycling, kayaking, and walking. If you are lucky and prepare in advance, you can bring your bike (along with all of your luggage) by plane, then if need, you can transport it by ferry or by train to a certain point. Then you start cycling on the local paved or dirt roads.
The problem comes when you reach a point where cycling is not possible- a steep rugged mountain, a sand desert, or a thick jungle. Now you have to leave your bike at this point and start walking, kayaking or climbing. At this moment, you have two options. First- to find a transportation logistics company and to send your bicycle by their service to the address at another point, from where you can proceed cycling. And second- to find a friend who can do it for you.
This is the same vehicle-continuity problem that appears in any long one-way journey with private transport: even if the traveler can continue by walking, kayaking, bus, ferry or another method, the bicycle still has to be stored, shipped, moved forward, sold or brought back somehow. Many explorers like those crossing the Amazon Rainforest, Sahara Desert, Atlantic Ocean, or another extreme place on Earth have arranged it in this way. If the cycling route also reaches rivers, lakes, islands or sea gaps, the problem becomes a wider question of land-water route continuity: the bicycle may continue with the traveler in some cases, but in others it must be carried, shipped, stored or replaced by another movement system.
You may think: “It sounds like a bicycle will be more like a burden than a tool for traveling”. No, if everything is arranged well in advance, cycling can be a great way of traveling or at least a part of an expedition.
Finally, let’s see something more. Just arranging a bicycle is not enough, you need some additional things. Even if you don’t bring your own bike but rent a local bike, you would need some accessories.
Before a long riding day
Check tire condition and pressure, brakes, wheel attachment, chain, gears, loose bolts, lights, and luggage mounting before starting. On a loaded touring bike, small mechanical problems can become much more serious once you are far from repair services.
Biking accessories
Some accessories are always necessary- for repairing, for luggage or safety. Yes, it can be an additional weight, but it can help a lot. And actually, things are not too many.
Tire repairing tools
Tire damage is still one of the most common problems on a cycling journey. With inner tubes, punctures can come from thorns, glass, nails, pinch flats, rim problems, or damaged tires. A basic tube repair system normally includes tire levers, patches or a spare tube, and a reliable pump. Tubeless systems need a different repair strategy — sealant, plugs, and usually a backup inner tube for failures that cannot be sealed on the road.
You can buy these things separately, but usually (and most conveniently), it is best to buy a patch kit. Let’s see some good patch kits below:
Bring the tools required by your specific bicycle rather than one generic spanner. For many modern bikes, a compact multi-tool with the correct Allen and Torx keys is more useful, while bikes with nutted axles or particular racks may also require a small wrench.
Inner tire
If a tube is badly damaged, replacing it is usually faster than trying to patch multiple holes. Carry at least one spare tube that matches your wheel diameter, tire-width range, and valve type. Common modern travel-bike wheel sizes include 26″, 27.5″/650B, and 29″/700C, so never assume that a generic spare will fit. Presta and Schrader valves are both common; your pump must be compatible with the valve you use.
The spare tube must also match the approximate width of your tire. A tube intended for a narrow road tire will not be appropriate for a wide mountain-bike tire, and vice versa. Use the size range printed on the tube and compare it with the dimensions marked on your tire.
Inner tires for mountain bikes
Inner tires for road bikes
Finally, needless to say, you must bring a pump. There are convenient small pumps that you can easily attach to your bike, or just put in your luggage. Let’s see some good pumps you can use (have in mind the two types of tire valves- Schrader and Presta):
Other damages
Then, it is more seldom, but other damages can occur, on the multi-speed system, on the chain, on the wheel (it can bend by a hit), or on the pedaling system. In most of these cases, you still can cycle, although much harder and more inconvenient. For example- you can temporarily eliminate the speeds and just cycle with one speed only. Or you can help yourself by leg if your pedals break- at least until you reach the first possible place to fix it.
For this, you would need another repairing kit which includes more accessories. It can be combined with the patching accessories, or you can buy separately. Let’s see some good kits:
Other accessories
For your convenience and safety, you can bring more accessories that would be always useful. They are not too many, and you would not need to bring all of them in your backpack.
Bike luggage carrier
This is something that you have to install on your bike before your trip. Yes, you can bring your luggage in a heavy backpack, but it makes you more unstable and easier to fall because the weight is on your back, i.e., not well-balanced. But if you attach your luggage on a carrier, it will make a better balance, and your back will be free. So, let’s see some good bike luggage carriers (racks) below:
Bike side bags (panniers)
Bike side bags are what usually long-distance bikers bring on an expedition. They are installed on your back wheel, on both sides. So you can put there a lot of your luggage. It is very convenient and also contributes to a good balance of weight. Let’s see some good side bags below:
Bike saddlebags
These bags are located under the seat of the bike. They are the best place to put your repairing tools and other useful small things, so they can be easily reached. Some of the saddlebacks are small, proper for your repairing tools and other small things, while other saddlebacks are large, so you can put a significant part of your luggage inside. Let’s see some good saddlebags below:
Bottle
Drinking water is always important during a biking trip. So, it is important to put your water bottle in a convenient place. Usually, the bikes are designed with a bottle holder on their frame. You can put various kinds of bottles on it, but there are bottles specially made for bikers. Let’s see some of them:
Helmet
This is an important accessory for protection. It happens seldom, but if you fall from the bike, it can save your life. Yes, usually when you fall, you will most likely hurt your arm, because you instinctively try to use it to protect yourself. Your arm could break, but it is still better than if your head breaks. However, if you hit your head, it can be fatal, especially if you fall during an accelerating descent. And here is the helmet’s role.
Today, there are a lot of helmet choices. Helmets for bikers are different from other helmets (like helmets for climbers, or military helmets). They are prolonged, designed mainly for protecting from hits by falling at a higher speed. Choose a bicycle helmet that meets an accepted safety standard, fits your head correctly, can be adjusted securely, and remains comfortable enough that you will actually wear it. Fit and certification matter more than whether a model is marketed for men or women. Replace a helmet after a significant impact or when the manufacturer recommends replacement because of age or damage.
I have often ridden without a helmet myself, especially on slow long-distance journeys, but this should not be presented as good safety practice. Current evidence strongly supports wearing a properly fitted bicycle helmet because serious head injuries can occur even at relatively low speed, during a simple fall, or in a collision that the rider cannot predict. A helmet does not make cycling risk-free, but it adds an important layer of protection and should be treated as standard safety equipment. CDC — bicycle safety.
Lights and visibility
If your cycling journey uses public roads, being visible is as important as being able to see. At night, in tunnels, during fog, rain, twilight, or other poor-visibility conditions, use a white front light and a red rear light, together with the reflectors required by local law. Bright or reflective clothing and reflective elements on luggage can make you easier for drivers to detect.
Exact legal requirements vary by country, so check local cycling rules. Under the Vienna Convention framework used by many countries, bicycles should have an effective brake, an audible warning device, a rear red reflector, and the ability to show white or yellow light to the front and red light to the rear. European Commission — cyclist equipment and visibility.
Biking pants with pads
Many bikers know it, especially if they ride a long time. When you ride long, you can feel pain on your butt, from the long monotonous movements of your leg and the friction caused by them, between your butt and the seat of the bike. Finally, you arrive at your destination for the day and feel uncomfortable. At the same time, you know that you have to proceed with the same exercise the next day.
The solution is not necessarily the softest possible saddle. For long-distance riding, saddle shape, width, riding position, bike fit, and gradual adaptation usually matter more than extra padding. A very soft saddle can sometimes increase pressure and friction during long days. So, another option is to buy biking pants with pads. They are specially designed to reduce friction, no matter what is the seat of the bike you are riding. At the same time, the good biking pants are comfortable, help against sweating, and breathable. Again, they can be designed for men, women, and kids. Let’s see some examples below:
In general, that’s most important for the bikers, and what they have to prepare, especially for those who want to use their bikes for a long-distance expedition (or at least, biking as a part of it). Again, cycling has its pros and cons, but there are various ways to reduce the effect of its cons. And if you prepare well, you can enjoy cycling as a great and exciting way to explore our planet.
