Hi there,
I'm new in your forum, so let me introduce myself to all of you. I'm a cyclist from Holland. I made my first tours in 1964, and have been enjoying bicycle tours since then. My first tours outside Holland were back in 1969 when I was 18 years old.
I rode many tours all over Europe, especially in Belgium and France.
I have succeeded the Hundred Cols Tour (http://home.planet.nl/~honderd.cols) , which is said to be the toughest bicycle ride in the world .
I'm not a world traveler (although I did some cycling in Cambodia, which was very exciting in those days when the Khmer Rouge was still active over there).
I do most of my traveling by bike, because I do not own a car, which is very rare in Holland.

Welcome Jaby.

Stick around and join in often.

Funny, you don't have much of an accent.

Welcome to the forums Jaby. The more the merrier! How's the weather in Holland?
Hmmm, you've got me thinking about the functionality of wooden cycling shoes... :D
