A tip for buying sleeping bags. On most bags, the temperature rating that is on the bag is a survival rating - meaning if it got that cold you would most likely survive. The "Comfort" rating is usually 10-15 degrees (farenheit) higher. So if you found a 35 degree bag you would only be comfortable down to 45-ish degrees.

@radbikeadventure 3 жыл бұрын

Yes for sure. Kaitlin just didn't realize how COLD it was going to get in Tassie. Lesson learned!

@pedroclaro7822 Жыл бұрын

I definitly agree with Kaitlin, don't need a lot of money to tour. If you do in country touring you can generally take any bike, since you can get around any problem. Outside your country you might want to actually do the said bicycle check-up and revision. If you want to do stuff without spending too much you need to be as self-reliant as possible. Some people travel and pay for everything - transportation, hotels, restaurants. Some do a mix. While bikepacking it's pretty common to pay for meals. While touring you generally have everything you need. Being able to repair your own bike, tune it and maintain it is not that far of a stretch. I do all of that for my stuff, even if sometimes it's a bit of a headache. I know people who made their own panniers, hammocks, bivvy bags, tarp shelters, etc. The more you do for yourself the more you can save up (generally). And yeah with cheaper stuff you can get nice stuff that lasts a long time. When you pay top notch, in backpacking, you get the lightest stuff, which is not necessarily the longest lasting. I find that mid-tier gear is a good place to buy stuff that lasts decades!

I had gotten a lot of my bike touring items ordering from e-bay from China and of course the handy dollar stores. My bike which is a steel Schwinn was on sale too. I have a lot of good quality items, some things I upgraded too. My budget for everything (including the bike and all its' needs) added up to about 1500.00. Most people that I have watched via video, are easily spending around 3,000.00+ for their equipment which I think is a little too pricey. I would simply recommend to be particular in what you shop for bike touring items in order to get quality products and especially when a person is trying to save on expenses.

Hi Girls, yeah whilst it can get cold here in Australia, it's not like the North part of the USA or Canada in most parts or like Europe so a lot of the expensive gear is often overkill sometimes and there are some good stuff in our regular department and camping stores.

I'm really interested in the specialized alibi but worry because no one seems to have used it for a bike tour except you. I just love the geometry and worry that many expensive "touring bikes" would make me uncomfortable over long periods of time so "slooped" downwards. Could you let me know the pros and cons of touring on that bike? I've been reading the tires slow people down, but that's an easy fix if I need to get air tube tires. Thanks! This video was amazing!

@radbikeadventure 2 жыл бұрын

Touring bikes are not very "sloped" in fact. They give you a much more upright position compared to a classic road bike. They are meant to be sat in allll day. Don't let the drop bars fool you! BUT ride whatever bike feels right for you! I did my first tour on a hybrid and got along fine. Major downsides are that they are usually not steel (a more comfortable material imo) and not built to hold a ton of weight. But if you are traveling light, you should be fine. They are also cheaper which is a huge perk of course.

U Can also try moving your saddle forward or back on the rails. Yes, we’ve both made slight adjustments for comfort. Darin changed the angle of her handlebars and I fiddled w my seat height a lot (changing shoes also can mess things up) until I found the right spot. And then sometimes I’d change it again! Also, taking a couple rest days can do wonders and just being conscious of not cranking too hard in any gear (especially going uphill). Getting a bike fit in the future would be worth it.

@@radbikeadventure Like I said, I can fix bikes myself. So $150 would be plenty. Then I have a $100 Lanshan 1 tent weighing 1170 gram with pole. Sleeping bag maybe a $90 Aegismax M2 650 grams and good for 4 Celsius. $30 air mattress 450 grams and more comfortable than the self inflating one. Panniers, well there you did pretty good. OK, I'm an AliExpress type of guy. Not everybody orders directly from China. But for $500 I could get myself an awesome touring setup including cooking gear, some accessories, and money left for clothes. Super light, and definitely not junk! That gear from China is lesser quality is simply not true. So sorry for local resellers. As much I like to support them, I don't like to pay 2 or 3 times the price. If they have what I'm looking for at all. Often they don't. And to give you an example of how silly expensive a shop can be: 10 guy line stoppers, €9,95. Same item, exactly the same, 10 pieces, from China, €0,95. Then they wonder why we don't buy local?

How did she cook

@radbikeadventure 3 жыл бұрын

Good question David. We should have mentioned that! We all cooked together using our Trangia alcohol stove (large pot and pan). It was JUST big enough to cook for 3 people thankfully! I've linked an alcohol stove making tutorial in the description for those who want to make a stove on a budget :)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_rising_terminal the inflection is already odd to most people but unfortunately it being tied with "woke" people in recent years has made it seem like a social statement, similar to virtue signaling. Some people, however, simply talk like this.

The bike is the cheapest part.Its all the accessories that add up .It's wiser to buy a used bike .Why because if you buy a used bike and end up getting bored with it , your not out 2 grand .Buy a used one first , then if you end up getting hooked on it , then you can always upgrade from there .I love biker chicks beavis, heh,heh,👩🚵🚴🚵🚴🚵🚴🚵🚴🚵
