Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.Per Kuhlwein

One more in the late fifties is ready to intro.
Just 2 weeks ago I arrived back home from a 2 months/2800 km trip to New Zealand. Finding out that the Touring-forum - http://www.mountainbike.co.nz/forum/ - I followed before my trip is down. But anyway "bikeforums.net" seems to be very active and well-organized.
Before NZ I spent a couple of weeks warming up in Seattle and Los Angeles.
In NZ I did some good and bad experiences, which I will discuss in the Touring-forum. :(
I of course bicycle daily, but the first really tour I made was in 1989-90 - 2 years on the roads in Asia. From Tokyo to Sydney through all the different, wonderful, splendid, friendly and beautiful southeast Asia. The bike at that time was a Motobecane "Grand Touring". An excellent bike, lively and fast, but because of the light and unstable frame I had a lot of broken spokes - it annoyed me. Without bags I love biking it, but to bike NZ - no way. I had to buy a new - the choice was easy but expensive, when I after months of research decided to buy a Cannondale T2000. - She is simply great!!
