| | Travelling by bike |
The sites on biking are really a big lot, and most of them are personal pages of a very good quality; not only accounts but also information sources, to contact in organizing your cycling abroad.
Among the sites we have met, or which have been pointed out to us, we only report those which can provide you some useful material to organize a travel.
Other good resources are:
Travel to the Horizon by Ralph de Rooij, an extensive links directory with a pleasant graphic interface.
Dansk Ciklist Forbund, which provides only selected links and really valid, and which presents a section of night arrangements only for bikers.
Trento by bike by Andres Caranti, a site born since the beginning of Internet, which is a kind of directory of any account and biking route through Europe and Mediterranean Countries. A great site.
We have been avoiding to take material from the sites above quoted, so we hope our information will integrate with theirs, without creating a useless mess.
