Our tent and make shift bike garage We both daily ride and tour on our old bikes. The tourers are great for shopping and errands in addition to longer trips. I have an embarrassing number of vintage touring bikes from Trek, Cannondale, and Miyata. I like the companies that make their own bikes. Cannondale ST's and the later 80's Miyata's are hella Stout and great for heavier loads. The touring treks from '83 and '4 have the classic touring geometry with gourmet tubing feel.
