Cycling Links
These are some interesting links about cycling tours in various parts of the world, particularly Tibet.  They give a flavour of the adventure I had, and have lots of good links to other sites.  The best sites for links to other cyclists' sites are Janne Corax's and Travel to the Horizon.  For pictures, go to Janne Corax's or Luciano Lepre's page, and for a good chuckle, try Mr. Pumpy.  The Lonely Planet site is good for Q&A and if your bike's broken, go see Sheldon Brown.  And for inspiration, Heinz Stucke is the man!!  Happy surfing and start planning your own cycling adventure!
