Bike Touring Equipment

First and foremost... time, good friends, a decent bike, the ability to do repairs, low gears for those hills, and money!
The list below precludes any cooking along the way.
 
- A suggested list which partly depends on length and location of trip
- Some items only one person in party need to have
- Ensure that parts and tools fit your bike (especially spokes, nipples, & free wheel remover)!
