Slow Tourism

See the world at 15mph

One of my hobbies is cycling, and once a year I load up one of my bicycles and set out for a cycling vacation.

The bike

One of my bicycles is a 2013 Bianchi Volpe. This steel-framed monstrosity is comparatively slow and heavy by the standards of modern road bikes, but it has one great virtue. Its steel frame and fork make it the perfect bike for light touring.

I can attach racks to the front and back of the bike, making it possible to load up enough luggage for a multi-day excursion.
