Hello,

I plan to do a one-month cycling trip in Kyrgyzstan, being Bishkek the starting and final point of the route. I will start on July 14th, and will carry a tent and a stove.

I started compiling information and reading blogs about cycling in Kyrgyzstan in order to set a possible route, so here is the draft I did: https://goo.gl/maps/gifQv .

What do you think? Any recommendations?

As for me, I have travelled by bicycle in South America, Africa, Europe and Indian Himalayas.

Thanks in…

Hi folks,

So I've got 3 weeks set aside in April and I'd like to do some cycle touring. The region I want to explore is South East Europe but there's a whole bunch of little countries that I don't much about about so I thought I'd come here to ask for suggestions on which country/area/route would be nice!

I was originally thinking Romania but then I decided with it being mountainous and a fair way north and inland there might still be a bit too much ice and snow on the ground in April in…

I'm planning to bike the Rota Vicentina and parts of Via Algarviana starting next week. I'm biking it one direction and taking the train/bus back to Lisbon where my bike box will be stored. I just realized that it might not be that easy to get my bike on a train or bus without packing it. I will a ride back to Lisbon from Lagos or Tunes. Any suggestions or information about this?

I spent more than 20 winters backpacking through Asia, mostly Nepal trekking, but also India, China, Karakoram, and some beach in SE Asia.
Im looking for suggestions for a route through Asia on a Bicycle. I ordered advrenture cycling' or something like that from Amazon.
Depending on how things look by then, I might start in Kathmandu, where I have been flying to for many years. If Kathmandu is still a mess, I might start somewhere else.
The bike is a Surly LHT with S&S couplers I built from the…

Okay maybe i watch too many road rage incidents on the internet towards cyclist but i have decided i need a camera for my bicycle rides at home here in the U.K........i dont want the camera for touring as i think recharging will be an issue that i could without, so any recommendations for a helmet camera or one on the handlebars ? I am mindful of Michael Schumachers accident which i believe was made worse by a camera mounted on his helmet so that is a concern. Any advice or thoughts ?
