What preparations should I make to go to Tibet by bike?

Pay attention to a lot, enough to write a book. List a few of the most important, others you can experience slowly on the road.

1-2 security

Safety is the most important thing in cycling. Any sport has some risks. The risk of cycling is that those cars generally don't consider that there will be cyclists on the road, so you must pay attention to your own safety.

Good car condition, good brakes and tires, and correct braking methods (point the brakes, try not to lock the wheels, switch the brakes between effortless/effortless quickly and continuously, and finally stop the car. It is recommended to jump in an emergency) can make the car slow down and stop steadily.

Cycling helmet, cycling pants and cycling gloves can effectively protect your body, and brightly colored cycling clothes also have a warning function, so that car drivers can see you from a distance and avoid you.

If you are in good health, you must start when you are in good condition. If physical conditions do not allow, try not to travel.

1-3 equipment

There is a famous saying in the outdoor world: No matter how well prepared, it is just right to use it.

Try to prepare all the equipment you can think of. It's best to spend some time on the forum of donkey friends, such as Lv You. Com, learn the common sense of buying equipment, and make some friends to help you recommend items for outdoor applications.

Another is that the old man said that the poor family has money and everything they need on the road is worth it, which is better than not buying it and worrying about it locally.

1-4 body

Physical problems are mentioned in safety matters, which means that you can't travel when you are sick.

You must have the right body to prepare for a trip, such as going to Tibet. It is best to do a comprehensive physical examination to make sure that your cardiopulmonary function can adapt to altitude sickness.

You can't be forced. Even if the doctor tells you that you can climb Mount Everest, once altitude sickness occurs, you should return to low altitude to rest. If you react two or three times in a row, or if you react strongly, you should pack up and go back.

1-5 plan

Careful planning is half the battle, and the plan should be supplemented and improved during the journey.

Make sure you make a plan before you leave. It doesn't have to be perfect, or even complete. You have to walk about 500 kilometers, make a complete plan and record your feelings on the road, which is also part of the plan.

2- 1 map

One of the most popular maps in this century, called Google Earth, can give you a general idea of the road conditions. First buy a national road map (big and clear), then study it carefully, and then confirm the route you designed on Google Earth paragraph by paragraph.

Mobile navigation is not suitable for long-distance travel. Outdoor, dry batteries are always more reliable than rechargeable batteries. Spend hundreds of dollars on a battery-powered electronic dog and download all the maps you need.

3- 1 equipment

Different from the introduction in 1-3, this paper mainly introduces the bicycle-related equipment needed for bicycle travel.

3-2 bicycles

The most important thing in cycling is people, and the second most important thing is cars. A durable bicycle is your reliable partner on the road.

At present, there are many station wagons specially designed for travel, but it is not recommended to travel with this kind of car. Choose a suitable mountain bike and install shelves and fenders (if you only ride on sunny days-it is recommended-you don't need to install fenders), because mountain bikes are more efficient than ordinary station wagons, and the wheels of 26 are more stable than those of 700C, especially when going downhill.

It is suggested that ATX740 or ATX750 be converted into a station wagon. The modification cost is about 2000+.

First, the performance of Giant's mountain bike is relatively reliable; Second, Giant has many specialty stores. Before going out, write down the address of the store along the way, and truly realize the nationwide warranty.

3-3 car bag

Car bag, commonly known as camel bag, is similar to the bag placed on the camel's back and on the back shelf.

When traveling, don't carry a backpack, or don't carry too much. Because cycling itself will make the waist tired, and the heavy burden will increase the burden on the waist, and even get hurt.

You can put tents, sleeping bags, drinking water and other items in the camel bag, and only carry valuables such as cameras.

3-4 Spend money

How to spend money? For example, a trip costs 1000 yuan, 3000 yuan before going out, and 7000 yuan on the way.

In the eastern region, you can bring cards and less cash. The western region (after Qinghai and Gansu) may not encounter ATM for a long time and need to bring more cash. As for security, if you need to know, you can call me Baidu Hi, and I can explain it to you. This is not convenient to say, but also for safety.

Don't rush to upgrade after buying a car, just put on accessories suitable for travel. You will know what you need on the road, but remember not to cross Qinghai or Gansu or Sichuan before you get everything ready. There are fewer west car shops, fewer big car shops, and the supply of goods is more difficult.

4- 1 line

The classic cycling route is to Tibet in China, and it is more dangerous to go to Sichuan and Tibet. It is not recommended to fly alone, and those with old birds can follow; It's easier to go to Qinghai-Tibet, and you can also consider going around Qinghai Lake on the way, preferably an old bird.

The most suitable for newcomers to warm up is the tour along the eastern north-south coast, starting from Guangzhou and passing through Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei and Beijing along the national highway. You can also go to the northeast in spring and summer.

When I started walking along the big city, I had some experience, all the equipment was orderly, and my car repair skills were quite good, so I could start walking west, one step at a time, and I couldn't be impatient.

5 Supplementary part

There are not only many villages but also many cities along the 5- 1 national highway. Remember that there are only car shops in this city. At first, you must choose a route with many cities along the way.

5-2 If you have no outdoor experience, you should plan to go to at least one town and stay in a hotel every day. Even the old birds in Tibet have hotels without tents. If you don't have certain outdoor experience, it is suggested to make an appointment with friends, and go to the park or the suburbs to experience camping in the wild first. If you have certain experience, you can go to the real wild. Remember to customize the weather forecast, avoid the bad weather in the camp, and pay attention to camping skills. All these need to be studied on donkey net.

Envy friends who have time to travel. Whether they can be adopted or not, I am willing to help you if you need it.

Another post introducing the station wagon is recommended for your reference.
