touring bike

Long-haul cycle

A touring bike is a bicycle designed for long-distance travel, built to carry heavy loads over extended journeys.

Compared to racing bikes, touring bikes have sturdier frames, more relaxed geometry for comfort, and mounting points for racks and panniers: She crossed the country on a touring bike loaded with camping gear.

The term also applies to motorcycles built for comfortable highway travel.
