BIKE-ON-BIKE COMPARISON TOOL

You will now find EVERY bikepacking bike in this book on the website Bike Insights. Using this online frame comparison tool, you can quickly visualise differences in sizing and frame geometry to make sure you are picking the best-sized bike.

WHAT FORMAT DO THE BOOKS COME IN?

These books are digital downloads. Save the interactive PDF to your computer and open it in full screen for the best viewing. The reason I don’t print is due to the need for these books to always be current – that’s why I offer free yearly updates. You will pay securely with Paypal or a credit card (I’ve purchased the most secure SSL certificates), then receive your email link within minutes.

THE LATEST BIKES ARE ALMOST OUT, SHOULD I WAIT TO BUY THESE BOOKS?

There is no need to wait. These books are updated yearly for free after manufacturers have confirmed their latest sizing, specification and colours. You will be notified of the 2025 update and be able to download it at no charge. Your purchase is effectively a lifetime free subscription!

WHY ARE THESE BOOKS A GREAT WAY TO LEARN ABOUT BIKE TRAVEL?

While many books attempt to tell you everything about a topic, I understand that it’s easy to get overwhelmed by huge volumes of information. My approach is to arm you with the basic framework so that you can fill in the gaps!

These books are solely designed to help you make the most informed decisions. The Bikepacking Bike Buyer’s Guide is the only bicycle book that offers a true comparison for sizing, steering, gear ratios, frame materials, tyre clearance, weight and more. Bicycle Touring in One Hour is written concisely to provide you with the essentials, free of clutter.
