Let's start with the most important factor first, you.
People are very complex individuals and what works for one person may not work for another.
I think it is safe to break people down into two parts when considering a bicycle tour.
When a person tours it requires mental and physical strength. Most people are surprised to hear that mental strength is usually considered to be the most important quality.
(For those feeling a bit misled by the headline of this page please consider that the brain is indeed a muscle too. When bicycle touring I think it's the most important one even if it isn't the most obvious one during the first few days of a tour).
The pages that follow will discuss the physical and mental aspects of touring in greater detail.
