There are also several people who are attempting or have attempted variations on cycling around the world. One site worth checking out is www.roundtheworldbybike.com.
A good forum for people interested in bike touring is www.biketrip.org.
For general information about the countries I am riding through, go to the University of Pennsylvania's African Studies page.
Finally, the International Bicycle Fund has made available a Travel Guide to Africa by Bike (not much detail).
This is by no means a comprehensive list. There are many other sources of information that would be helpful in planning a cycling trip in Africa. Let me know what you find.
