Hello:

First of all, sorry for my english.

I´m planning to do a small trip by bike along the portuguese cost (on the road of course). It will take us around 7 days, which is the time we have for our holidays. Since it´s the first time we´ll do this, we ask your help in suggesting the kind of bike that we should buy.

Thank you

José Henriques (Portugal)

Hey!! I loved the Portuguese coast and the countryside in general; it was gorgeous and the people were wonderful. And the food?? MOI!!!(Kissing fingertips!). I had alot of rain on my tour there. I usually wild camped on farmland, except at Fatima where I stayed at a large, old home for Monks and religious pilgrims.

While this is your first tour, I'll betcha it won't be your last. I have toured on Fuji for years...typical Japanese quality, economy, and simplicity. I have a Fuji 'Touring' bike at the moment. I know they have a very competitive price in the USA, I don't know what their price might be in Euros, though.
