This is part of my plan. I'm not ready to become a cycling tourist without a home, but I could spend 12 weeks a year touring. My retirement location allows touring nine months of the year. Touring is easier in Europe with bike friendly trains and passenger ferries to help support long distance and international travel.
Cycling touring is both an economical and a very intimate way to visit a new region of the world.
