If you travel abroad a passport and documents are necessary. It’s only when you want those added luxuries that touring starts to become an ...

Yellow lights

omar, 04 April 2008 16:09

I was recently in the Middle East and noticed their bike lights are setup like the US, i.e. the indicators are always on like side lights… this made them very visible and easier to spot.

Boy does that wind howl in your ears at... ahem... 70mph. Ear plugs seemed an obvious solution. But the little yellow foam ones had ...

Lonely Planet guide to Scotland

Lonely Planet, 06 February 2008 15:01

Honed by long competition with its English neighbours, buoyant Scotland has survived encroachment, brass-monkey weather and invasion by stand-up comedians. Its people are feisty, opinionated and fiercely loyal. The countryside is a wild, beautiful tumble of raw mountain peaks and deep glassy lakes.

I and two other mates had a 5 day trip around France in June. Traveling through a small town, slightly lost due to road diversions, we were stopped by two french plod bikes.
