Here is my touring ride. A bit out of the box approach to touring, i am using an Azub Tricon recumbent trike. Far another experience than bicycles. It is like a pedalling throne; which makes you feel like king of the road. Yes, harder to climb, but somewhat easier with no balance problems in slow speeds specially when loaded. So you can hold on padalling only. It is like a rocket on downhills and very safe as it breaks like a rock. Also perfect winter ride. I also tried 2-wheel recumbents but trike was favorite. Moreover it can be fold to get inside trains. It is slightly better than traditional bikes about frontal wind; especially with a nose fairing. (Which i dont use for visibility and folding practicality) Some disadvantages; very scary if a dog charges you from sides, not so mobile to lift and pass any obsticles. And the worst side, they are not cheap... I take summer camping tours around Sweden; but I also modified a scott scale mtb for trips that requires an airplane ride. We just made an Andalucia trip during christmas holiday. I advise everyone to try recumbent bikes and especially trikes. Not particularly better or worse than traditional bikes; yet another experience...
