Hallo

does anybody know if there is a bus connection from Bishkek (Kirghizistan) to Almaty (Kazakhstan)? Period July / August, 2012.
I have found the train connection, but I would prefer bus.

Thank you. Uli]]> Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:34:26 CET http://globike.net/showflat/Board/17/Number/798368#Post798368 Globiker Lounge Posted by Grace Johnson:

My touring bicycle - it's sad, full of hurt. It dreams of new discoveries, meeting other bicycles, fantastic landscapes. But what's reality? Most time it's hidden in a lonely, dark cellar. At the most, a fly circles through its spokes.

But there is hope for my bicycle. In the time from August to October 2012, I plan to let it escape for about two months, to let it discover Madagascar.

Who am I? I'm Stefan, male, 45, from the Zurich area in Switzerland, with a wide range of interests, down-to-earth, and with already a few bicycle tours of several weeks up to several months in my calves.

Do you (f/m) feel like discovering Masoala without roof (I guess only the Swiss will understand this), staring at big eyes circled by some lemur, cycling though baobab instead of oak alleys? Are you ready to discover new lands, to dive into a completely different world? If that's the case, let me know, and we can discuss further details. Part-time travelers are welcome as well. kaon@gmx.ch]]> Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:22:41 CET http://globike.net/showflat/Board/15/Number/795675#Post795675 Find a partner Posted by zweiradmann:
Hi folks,

I'm looking for a compagnion for the above route.
I would like to start in the beginning of May.
Depending on what's going on at the route I would travel between zero and 150 km/day.
I'm 33, male, quite easy going.
If interested, send me a personal message.
Thanks and see you!]]> Sun, 29 Jan 2012 20:49:48 CET http://globike.net/showflat/Board/16/Number/794812#Post794812 Countries Posted by JohnyW:
Hi,

I was positively surprised by Swaziland. In the Milwane you can cycle with plenty of wildlife.
But it's not Malaria free but rare. South Africa is partly malaria free but wildlife is nearly not possible to see from a bicycle. I only know the Buntebock NP, a NP near Graaf Reinert which can be cycled.
Wildlife, malaria free and cycling does not fit good together...

Anyone interested in cycling in Namibia or Mozambique or Zimbabwe in may 2012? I'm 39 male from Italy, bye bye]]> Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:21:19 CET http://globike.net/showflat/Board/12/Number/790327#Post790327 General Discussion Posted by marcusinbristol:
I recently rode with a friend from Malaga to Bilbao, trying to find a route that avoided Madrid and most of the other large cities. it was a fantastic experience, cheap Easy Jet flights made it affordable and I would really recommend this part of Spain if you are looking for somewhere challenging and a little bit remote to ride in.

Most of the roads are in great condition, far better than the UK and many of them particularly in the south have a small hard shoulder almost made for bikes. The villages you pass through rarely see Cycle tourists but were friendly and supportive of what we were trying to do. We completed the journey in a week, but in hindsight taking a little longer would have been better. I've written the trip up here.

I've added a map from "Mapmyride" at the end of each day which shows our exact route. If anyone is thinking of riding this route or parts of it i would be happy to help with any information.

I am interested in combining learning spanish (I have a basic knowledge of it already and now going through a crash course) with doing a bike tour in Cuba or maybe Costa Rica (or elsewhere?) The current plan is for 2-4 weeks through Cuba in May 2012 (low season after tourists leave and before Cubans go on vacation.)

I would love to find someone who wants to learn and PRACTICE spanish on this trip and while meeting locals. Or else maybe even someone who already speaks spanish and who is interested in sharing that knowledge with me! There isn't so much camping in Cuba so probably I'd skip the tent this time and use the "casa particulars."

Anyway, I'm flexible and we could even use a bus or whatever, if we want to visit far away sections of the island, since there is just no way to pedal the entire island within a month I think (this is not a speed contest!) Or else we can limit the trip to a specific area, like maybe start from Havana and move on from there. Everything is still open for discussions, (...)]]> Sun, 08 Jan 2012 14:03:40 CET http://globike.net/showflat/Board/15/Number/785753#Post785753 Find a partner Posted by Hilde:

Hello,

I have been reading this forum regularly as a visitor and registrated myself to exchange information about ciclotourism.

I live in Hamburg/Germany since 2006 and ride my bike everyday as a commuter.

Every available weekend I do a "longer" one day trip.


See you around!]]> Fri, 04 Nov 2011 08:35:24 CET http://globike.net/showflat/Board/16/Number/768287#Post768287 Countries Posted by HenryVahl:
