This is the place to do it: cycle back a forth the white line and tell your friends at home: “oh, the equator I’ve crossed it dozens of times on this trip..!” We expected some kind of a tourist trap, with postcard vendors and “crossing the equator” t-shirts and were surprised to find just a […]
Ayers Rock is a must see for all Australia visitors. Even for cyclists it ‘easily’ be reached by good paved roads. We came all the way from Alice Springs. It took us 4, 5 days to cover the 450 km’s. Spending the night at roadhouses and once camping wild just off the main road. Water […]
From the first day on of our trip we insisted in taking the bikes into our hotelroom even if it was on the 4th floor and no elevators were available. Locking your bike up in your room is rarely a problem in the average Asian hotel. At some occasions hotelboys were even quarrelling to have […]
The Kathmandu valley is surrounded by the snow capped peaks of the Himalayan range. To get a good view of these giants we cycled to the rim of the valley to a town called Nagarkot east of Kathmandu. It’s important to get up there as early as possible since the views are best in early […]
No better way of getting to and around the Thai ruin-city of Old Sukhothai than on a bicycle. The numerous statues and temples are impressive and well worth a visit. On your own bike can even get easily to the further out of the old city. Of course you rent bikes locally. 9 of 10 […]
If you do not visit North Australia for the wide open spaces, visit it for the wild-life. We cycled from Darwin to the Kakadu National Park. A great place to see salt water crocodiles and of course al sorts of cacatoes. In this area we suffered from a much smaller animal: the ant. Thousands of […]
Cycling in India means always people around. When we stopped for lunch we waited untill the street was deserted to find a quiet place off the road. More often than not we were spotted within minutes and ended up like here, surrounded by friendly loacls. 10 of 24 pages
This friendly man, and his sons, looked after us while we stayed one night in a small Indian town. There was no hotel. Followed by dozens of people we walked through the streets looking for an alternative. We were offered to stay in the local school and this guy (was he the teacher ?) looked […]
The very orderly and planned-looking capital of Australia. Compared to other big cities Down Under it’s a cyclist paradise (although Adelaide is also offering a excellent network of cycleways; see our separate south-Australia page). Its possible to ride around town without touching a road. 9 of 11 pages
Detail of the mural on the wall surrounding the Chapel Royal, that depicts the story of the Ramayana called Ramakien in Tha. It’s the most beautiful comic you can imagine. Bangkok City is very noisy and busy and certainly not a cyclist paradise, but inside the compound of this building its peaceful and quiet. 9 […]
On a cycletrip souvenirs must be easy to carry and lightweight, like these beautiful sarongs. Purchased in the batik capital of Indonesia: Yokjakarta. One way of recognizing good quality batik is to look at both sides of the print. There should be no difference in color. 9 of 24 pages
You like a lush green landscape? You like waterfalls? You don’t mind a bit of rain? Then get your bike and cycle up to this part of Australia. Being several hundred of meters above sealevel this area can be a cool escape from the coastal heat of Queensland. With lots of places to stay and […]
This photo gives a good impression of traffic in an average Indian town: cyclists and pedestrians still largely outnumber motorised vehicles (although we noticed on a later visit to India a remarkable increase of the number of cars, like everywhere else in the world!) 9 of 10 pages
