check out Ken Kifer's Bike Pages. (he toured all around the US and world from the 60's up to 2003. most articles' focus on cheap and creative ways to go about touring and cycling, but there are also articles on bicycle repairs, stealth camping, and the politics of cycle touring) the most effective info i've gotten on bicycle touring has come from this site.
