the whole way across USA?! Have you done much touring? Most important thing is to get a bike which fits - local bike shop definitely the best to check fit rather than online. Check other threads here (things like "which touring bike").......0

put 'crazy guy on a bike' into google and check out the website, it has thousands of great blogs,and will be a great source of information for planning your ride.
good luck!!0 -
I'm off in a month to cycle the Trans Am for charity as well.
My bike of choice is probably a bit overkill, but that is because I will head on to Australasia and Asia after America so I need more of an expedition tourer.
I went for a Thorn Nomad Mk2 and I love it! The Rohloff hub is just a joy to use and the bike is bomb proof and rides beautifully.
There is more info on my blog, but feel free to ask any specific questions on the bike or Trans Am planning.
