What bike is good for long rides?

According to your question:

1. In terms of choosing routes, choose major roads and national highways as much as possible, because the road conditions are generally better, and there are fewer detours. The only exception to this is if there is a lot of traffic on the road to avoid – it will probably affect the road surface and will be dirty.

2. It is normal to ride 120 to 150 kilometers a day on a flat road, so you should inquire more after arriving at a resting place, and the general innkeeper will know what the road conditions are in front of. If there is a mountain road or poor road conditions, the trip for the day will be appropriately reduced, but it is still about 80 kilometers.

3. Maintain physical strength, I always hear others say that cadence, I haven't seriously understood it after riding for so long. Later, I found out that it means to ride at a certain rate of pedaling at a certain slope and road conditions, which is two words stable. To maintain physical strength, the most avoid fast and slow, once you adapt to a speed, you must maintain it, and do not change the current force and speed until you encounter changes in road conditions or want to stop.

As a result, if you ride for a long time, try not to stop immediately when you want to take a long break afterwards, and slow down for a while.

4. Prepare equipment, there are small villages and towns all the way from Shandong to Shaanxi, accommodation and eating are not a problem, and bicycle shops are indispensable in the city. Therefore, the equipment is a change of clothes, maps, standing drinking water, emergency food, common medicines, tire repair sets (tire pry sticks, tire repair tablets, glue) and pumps, and other things are redundant in terms of riding. So, in general, it is enough to tie a backpack on the back shelf.

That's all.

The other 1200km is not far or close, and it is good to keep 150km every day.

Don't walk at night!

Be sure to load the shelves.

The type of bike to use depends on the individual condition and the distance used, we can choose from off-road mountain bikes, all-terrain mountain bikes, road bikes, and long-distance touring bikes.

Whether a mountain bike or a road bike in a gearshift depends on the road conditions. If you want to ride a high-quality bright asphalt road, even if there is a mountain road, it is better to choose a road car with multiple speed changes. Its advantages over mountain bikes are its narrow tires, low resistance, and low weight.

However, in most parts of the country, there are still very few such roads that allow bicycles to ride long distances, because many local highways are closed to allow bicycles to ride, and the original old roads will be significantly unprotected and become potholes and uneven "washboard roads".

In such road conditions, of course, it is better to choose a variable speed mountain bike. If comfort is the main thing for long-distance loads, touring bikes are the most suitable. The touring bike is developed from the road bike, which is suitable for ultra-long-distance self-sufficient travel, has a more comfortable and relaxed frame geometry, can carry weight with a very low gear, and pursues reliability and durability in the selection of accessories.

The station wagon can cope with some complex roads such as gravel roads, and can also cope with flat roads, with a full range of advantages, such as comfort is one of its biggest advantages, as well as its unparalleled load volume, compared with mountain bikes on flat roads poor performance, road bikes are not suitable for riding on complex roads and the safety is not good.

Purpose of cycling. First of all, it depends on what the purpose of your bicycle is, generally go to work, school, and buy things, you can use a general light bike, preferably a relatively large basket, and you can put a schoolbag or something. There are also bicycles with internal or external transmissions.

If you are riding on a road with a slope or bridge, and you find it difficult to go uphill or on the bridge, you should choose a bike with a transmission.

If you're in a place where it rains a lot, you should choose a bike with fenders, a bike with lights if there are more opportunities to ride at night, and so on.

There are often many kinds of bicycles in bicycle shops, so before you go to the bicycle shop, it is best to determine what kind of bicycle you need according to your actual situation, and then go to the bicycle shop to buy.
