Hello,
I found a short movie clip about cycling on the highest road in the world. If you are interested you can see it here http://www.metacafe.com/watch/286163/cycling_on_the_highest_road_in_the_world/
It looks very nice, and they are riding a tandembike!!!:)
Greetings,
Marden.
wow, quite a rig they're sporting. I'm guessing they get more than 2 weeks vacation.
Fantastic video. Check out the elevation. There is not much air at 18,000 feet. :eek:
shoot dude, there's not much air at 8,000 feet!!!! I think UCI has declared this sort of training illegal!!!!!
Very cool, thanks for posting!

FYI: these people are Dutch (like me). The bike is a Vittorio (http://www.vittorio.nl) tandem with a trailer by Radical Design (http://www.radicaldesign.nl/en/start_en.html). The bike is traditionally made out of steel with long lasting components like V brakes and 8-speed gearing and all.

They have extremely nice photos in their albums. Alot of sky and landscap shots. Do they do any photography professionally?
