I want to buy a long-distance travel bicycle (for men), but I don’t know how to buy it. The price is about 1000-1500, and the brand is random! Please recommend!

Buy Merida Warrior 600, it was Warrior Pro in my previous life. Very good, about 1500, suitable for long distances.

If you want to carpool, the price is too low. You need to pay at least 4,000 to get a good car.

Equipment is very important. As long as the requirements are not too high, the following is enough (generally the whole set of equipment is very expensive)

1. Helmet, I won’t explain this, it’s not impossible. The average price is more than 100 (I tell you that really good helmets are disposable products and can no longer be used after being dropped once. Those are more than 1,000, let’s not think about it)

2. Glasses, It is also indispensable. This recommendation is Tuobu TS001, five-piece pack (this one also has polarized version for 150 yuan), 110 yuan. If you are short-sighted, you can add myopia lenses

3. Cycling clothing , buy a better one, it is good for your health, reduces wind resistance and is comfortable. It should be more than 200.

5. Cycling sleeves/arm sleeves and cycling leg sleeves. These are the most suitable for long distances. They are generally suitable for colder days. On the one hand, they keep out the cold and also absorb sweat. These ordinary ones are not expensive and can be used every time. A piece of more than ten yuan

6. Cycling face towel, this is worn on the face to prevent gray sand from entering the mouth and nose. About 2 yuan

7. Bicycle bag, there are three-in-one and four-in-one, the price is 10 and 30 yuan

8. Bicycle rear rack bag Bicycle rear rack, these two It is a set, has great long-distance effect, and can hold a lot of things. The price is more than 50 yuan

9. Cycling self-locking series, this is a self-locking shoe with a self-locking device. This is not recommended because it is suitable for professional road use and is very inconvenient and expensive. More expensive, an ordinary set is more than 500 yuan

10. Cycling socks, very common, 10 yuan

11. Bicycle lights, necessary for night riding, about 40 yuan, and Hot Wheels, 2 yuan each (some sell them for 5 yuan each, which is a scam)

12. Bicycle water bottle holders and water bottles are all must-haves, they are more than 10 yuan, so I must buy 2 of them

13. A small pump, this one costs 20 yuan, it is essential

14. A stopwatch, this one is a must, it is absolutely indispensable, I recommend Sigma’s one which costs 70 yuan

15. Bicycle repair tools, there are many of them, they are available in bike shops, they are very cheap

The long-distance equipment is basically these, if you go with the club (generally clubs have dedicated people to bring these things) , many of them are not needed, such as 13 and 15. If you are alone or with friends, you need to do this, and you also need to learn to repair the tire by yourself (it is very simple, you can do it as soon as you learn it), and you need to repair some Basic bike troubles (all simple).

It is best to warm up before riding a long distance, check whether there are any problems with the belt, transmission, brakes and other necessary parts, and then you can hit the road.

You can also buy some beef jerky, chocolate, or energy bars first (this is what you eat in the Tour de France, I don’t know what it is, but it is high-energy stuff). If you are hungry, you can eat it. It’s very uncomfortable to ride

It is recommended that you go to a few places with the club where you bought the car first, and then go with friends. Be sure to find the road in advance. It is best if you have a GPS, or If your phone doesn’t have the GPS function, ask for directions in advance.

If it’s more than 100 kilometers, it’s almost enough. If it’s less than 100 kilometers, it won’t be so troublesome. It is best to have more than 3 people for a long distance, otherwise it will be difficult to take care of you

The most important thing is to bring enough money. If it is a long distance, look for a car if you need accommodation. If you finish it in one day, you can still find a restaurant to eat. Yes, some club leaders know a lot of people, you can ask them.

I recommend something to you. It is definitely a great tool for cycling travel. Google Earth is absolutely amazing. Download it and take a look. I guarantee you will like it.
