I'm always thinking of these questions when it goes to the solo bike tour.

  1. Pick the right bike. If your knowledge of bike maintenance is rather basic, consider getting a bike like a Thorn Raven which has closed in rather than derailleur gears.

  2. Make sure you invest in some good quality travel clothing that is lightweight, quick drying and insect repellant. Fifty miles into the day’s ride you’re not going to care how trendy your shorts are, you’re just going to care whether or not they are chaffing. Other gears like camping tent, sleeping bag or camping lantern are must-have items.


  3. Give yourself plenty of time to complete your intended itinerary and try to allow for as much flexibility as possible. You never know when you might stumble upon a hidden gem or meet a group of fellow tourers you’d like to hang out with for a few days. It would be a shame to not be able to make the most of these opportunities because your itinerary is too strict.

I got this cover for my bike.. It’s light and folds down into a pouch that’s about the size of a padded envelope. It’s not weather tested by me yet, but it goes on and off easily and the holes for a lock should help secure it to the bike. Plenty of space for bags under it as well.

Those pedals won't do you any favors, they look like they are stock with a plastic body, which can easily snap on you during your trip. Grab a pair of touring platform pedals like these, they'll grip way better, are solid metal, and it doesn't matter which side you place your foot on.

For a Kryptonite or in general like this?

Also, here is my bike: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005EFTPZC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I didn't want to spend too much in case I hated it, but may get a better one in a couple of years. Need a new beach cruiser first.

I ended up getting these waterproof rain mitten shells. It's hard to beat the price ($6).

I bought them to go over my other mittens, to block wind, rain, and snow. They have performed wonderfully so far--- I've been using them every day commuting to work and back for the last month.

The wind doesn't go through them at all, and they remain waterproof as far as I can tell. They've made my mitten combination much better.

For shoes, I don't really have a recommendation. I have shoe covers but I'm not happy with them.
