Hi all,
Id like to do a short touring stint say a week in france... I havent even thought about planning but I was just wondering whether there are places you can rent a touring bike from for say a week with panniers etc.
Reason being, I don't have a suitable bike (only a racer and mountain bike) but would like to try a week of touring and get a feel for it before investing in a tourer.
Or do you think it would just be best to buy a 2nd hand tourer? I know rental charges for a week might be pricey.. If I did buy my own how much do you reckon I could get a half decent bike for, and the basic equipment (eg. panniers, racks, already got a tent etc)? Im in suffolk by the way!
Thanks in advance, any tips or help appreciated!
