Just Getting into things.

Hey,
I am just beginning long range planning for a trip from Europe to Australia, and my consideration is what type of bike to use. I have no previous experience with bikes, but I just got my license. The trip I am planning is set to take place in about four years. Im looking for reliable and easy to repair.

Welcome

Hi and

You are in the wrong forum basically - there is much to read in the "which bike" section, where you will find as many opinions as there are contributors.

I could argue (almost anyway) that it has all been said, but someone may come up with a new idea or view that has not been put into print on this website; so enjoy reading the numerous posts in "Which Bike" and get back with more questions after that!!
