I've read that touring bikes tend to be geared and have geometry leaning towards mountain/hybrid style.
What type of bike would you recommend for a journey like this? Road, mountain, hybrid,??
What thickness of tires do you prefer? I would think that hybrid-sized tires would be optimal (a little thicker than road tires, but a lot skinnier than mountain tires, with tread a pattern somewhere in the middle)... I mean road tires are probably most efficient, but if you hit a rough patch, snow, or even a patch of sand.... you will probably wish you had something a little beefier...
