Any reviews?]]> Thu, 03 May 2012 13:55:47 CEST http://globike.net/showflat/Board/12/Number/820723#Post820723 General Discussion Posted by Fritz Wa:
I'm in the 9th month of cycling a bit around the world ;-)

I started in central Asia with climbing a 7000m mountain, went through China & Korea to cycle in -40C with the tent through Siberia in Russia. Went southwards through Mongolia to cycle in summer at +40C down to Singapore and flew over to explore Africa right now.

I think you should not be too concerned about Malaria. It still is a nasty disease of course but catching it this quick will probably not happen. Other than that I think it is a great idea of you to go biking with your kids in the wilderness. It will be an unforgetable journey for them. Good luck for you!]]> Thu, 19 Apr 2012 11:27:13 CEST http://globike.net/showflat/Board/12/Number/819664#Post819664 General Discussion Posted by peter123:

I've got the answer!!!!

"I am living in Galati and the road to the border with Moldavia is one of the preferred training routes for the young cyclists in the city as it's less traffic then on others. One time we asked if it's possible to cross with a bike (I know that on foot is not possible) and the answer was yes, you can go with a bike from Romania to Ukraine (across Moldova)".

I've got a 20 inch dahon dash P18 and it's great for the own car, for the train... And for touring in and around cities, no problem for rides until 20 km or also more. But sure, for real trips, vacations by bicycle, I would prefer a fordable big bike, like the 26 inch Dahon Matrix or Cadenza. They are still foldable, for using them in trains..., but when you ride on them you have the feeling to be on a 'normal' bike.:)
And yes, as already sayed above: easier to buy a tire!

I had a Dahon cadenza and liked it a lot, becaise like a normal bike but foldable, not too heavy and robust. Only the varnish is not so good. But in the end I sold it because it was a bit too big for my little car. Now I've got a Dahon Dash P18 and like it also - but for a long ride, that's sure, a Cadenza or Matrix is more comfortable.

Hi,

anybody with up to date informations about the above route?
Is it asphalt or dirt nowadays and how about water supply there?]]> Sun, 25 Mar 2012 22:35:18 CEST http://globike.net/showflat/Board/12/Number/810720#Post810720 General Discussion Posted by mstuedel:
I'm not using an E-bike for touring, but I've got some insight due to the fact that my father offers commercial organized bike tours with E-bikes (see here)

That's where I also think it offers the biggest advantages: In a group, the use of E-bikes can help even-out differences in personal fitness. With E-bikes the group members can go at pretty much the same speed: The really fit participant can ride with a "normal" bike, the untrained partner can keep up with the group thanks to an E-bike.
With E-bikes a hilly terrain - like Tuscany or the Provence - is doable even for cyclists with a very limited fitness level or of advanced age. The E-bike opens up quite a few new possibilities, particularly for senior citizens.
Additionaly, in organized group travels some of the major disadvantages of E-bikes can be avoided: My father has a second set of batteries in the accompaning minibus. Like that, the range of E-bikes (which usually is below 100km) can be extended to 150km/day, which makes quite decent tours (...)]]> Tue, 20 Mar 2012 21:42:13 CET http://globike.net/showflat/Board/17/Number/808884#Post808884 Globiker Lounge Posted by Ferri:

Hi guys! Was searching around on the internet for other communities for us tourists. I've been riding around the world since 2009 (www.tiredofit.ca) and in my time while stuck in a tent I developed a new resource for people worldwide.

It's an online database of books/gear for Bicycle Touring, a Free Campsites Section that allows bicycle tourists and offers Water/Showers/Internet etc, and the best part is free customizable trip journals, with the ability to map your GPS files/integrate into Facebook and log your daily stats. I've spent an awful lot of time working the features into my own personal site into this so that everyone can benefit - Lots of different looks and types, and its free, so you can spend your money on touring, not internet.

If you know of any other campsites, please feel free to add them to the list! The website is at http://www.bicycletouringhub.com - Bicycle Touring Hub!]]> Wed, 07 Mar 2012 18:47:17 CET http://globike.net/showflat/Board/13/Number/804679#Post804679 Bicycle equipment Posted by Flori87:
