Anyone with experience using this for bike touring?

I use my 20 all the time for biking. It is great to have. You can customize entire profiles, so I have one dedicated to biking. As long as you download useful maps you are good to go. One good one is "My Trails" off of gpsfiledepot website. It is a transparent overlay.

I don't think this would be my first choice for just a regular bike unless you are *really* paranoid about having it stolen. It weighs a ton, it's massive and biking with this thing in your backpack seems onerous. I use it on my Harley Davidson simply because my Harley is expensive and because I have a saddle bag to put it in so the weight doesn't bother me.

I never try it, but if you use is for long distance ride, I suggest you to buy another one cause this one's wheels is a little bit wider. It probably make you harder.

I slid my tour pack back 2" on my 2011 Ultra CVO to give my wife more room. She has her own bike now and she doesn't ride with. No problem with the bag rubbing the tour pack speakers, Moving the tour pack took about 1 hour.

Yes. I have not had any issues so far. Haven't put too many miles in it yet though.

You could but it might be overkill. Bag is large and unless its a fat tire bike with a large rack I think it's going to mess with your ride

Good day, the Tour Rack is designed to be compatible with nearly all bikes. The Verve 3 appears to be a standard hybrid style bike, so there should not be any fitment issues. Thanks!

It's probably better suited for long distance riding than mountain, but if your going that far daily you might want to look for more of a road bike. I hope that helps.

Do you know hat the laws are in NY concerning owning and riding this?Sounds perfect for going to train and back (2 miles)

Yes, just cheecked, that's what I have, but I wouldn't recommend it. It's a tight fit, but my biggest issue with this product is that it's not very secure. I have actually taken it off my bike and currently use Panier bags on the back and carry a rickshaw bag... LOVE!

I would never travel with this thing...it's a BEAST. Unless you have a box van with a bunch of gear, not for travel. I would say only for studio work.

On the PLUS model ($299) you can, not on the base ($249) model. Check garmin.com for a great comparison of all their bike computers. The 810 is packed with features and has the touch screen. The touring also has the touch screen. I use ot for long bike trips on roads wher eI am unfamiliar, not around my town. Good luck and happy riding!

Thanks BAN. Yeah I'm a hobbyist when it comes to cycling, so I'm sure the GPS will be able to pick me up on the roads . I know there are apps and such for Android / iPhone that do similar things, but I think this looks like a nice unit.

It may work. But honestly, I find it even a little bulky on a large motorcycle. I would think that it would be a little overkill on a bicycle. Plus, I'm not real happy with the quality.

Does it make mistakes and sometimes lead you to a closed down or gravel road? Infrequently but it does and all other brands will too. I use mine all of time for touring and it works great. Regarding the screen, I'm shocked at how readable it IS in full sun turned up bright all of the way.

It's light , I think you could definitely figure out a way to attach it to the bike. For long distance biking it might be worth the trouble

Depending on how long of a tour you're thinking, I wouldn't recommend it. If you're planning on riding over 15 miles with it, it just won't hold up and every time you want to take a turn, you'll risk flipping the trailer over. Unless you have a very straight course planned for your ride, I would go with a higher quality trailer that's both lighter and more stable.
