Am actually trying to change my mindset and go from having a bunch of bikes, to having one bike, as yet unspecified. I have to believe that it is possible to have one bike for: city, general tooling about, and bona fide touring.
'Touring', for me, defined as:
• 7 to 90 days
• not carrying tent or sleeping bag
• locally, regionally, or far, far away
• probably most oft referred to as 'credit card touring', despite the unfortuante nomenclature. [What is the opposite of misnomer?]
So, if you, Louis, could have only one bike, what would it be, and why?
Cheers,

Are you considering a coupled or break-away suitcase bike for your needs? Are the lovely dirt roads all around you a design criteria? How wide of an effective gear range do you need? Titanium? Tires in the 700 x 28mm range or more like 32-35mm? Will you use a front bag or low riders/rear panniers when needed?
Since you want to be carbon free.....this project is much more interesting to me!
