Hi Andy, A road bike would not work for those tours. For the Tour d’Afrique we recommend a mountain or touring bike with one set of 35-40c tires and one set of 45-50c tires. For the Hippie Trail, we recommend a mountain or touring bike with 35-40c tires. Those who are challenged by rough roads should consider a mountain bike.

I would love to join you on one of your tours one day.
The 2 that I’ve looked at are Hippie Trail and Tour D’Afrique

Just one question….
Does it matter what kind of bike we bring….??
I’ve got just a normal road bike….would that be suitable for the above tours…??

Thanks very much
