Bikes: Surly Long Haul Trucker

I do plan to ride around the world, eventually WOOT

I just came back from backpacking 6 months in Turkey, Georgia, Armenia and Eastern Europe. While I was gone I met a lot of bikers doing AMAZING trips.

After coming home I still have some money and considered booking it for India and traveling Asia. I know if I do that I would end up gone for at least a year

Instead of going to Asia I decided it would be smarter for me to buy a bike and finish up school. So I am going to start training and this summer I am planning to do the Trans American or as much of it as I can do on my break (about 75 days). Assuming I like it which I am almost certain I will, I'll continue doing big tours around the world. One way or another I have many major world trips ahead of me, and I think a bicycle is one of the best ways to see the world--little background
