Touring frame ground strikes
I've never owned a touring bike. Yesterday I test-rode a Fuji Touring. Not sure of the year, but a 2009 looks similar to what I rode. Anyway, it seemed really easy to lean over far enough for the pedal to touch the ground while getting on and off the bike.
Do touring bikes typically have low BB centers?
I'm only used to riding one bike, and that one's a mountain bike. I'm considering a touring frame as replacement, but my regular route has a lot of turns and I don't want to buy into a future of pedal strikes. ( I should have brought a yardstick to the store then I'd know. Next time. I just went into the store for tires...)
