Great Touring Photos
Here's a web site I just found that has fantastic cycle tour photos. It's called "Impressions from Bicycle Travels"
I think that you will enjoy it.

Incredible pictures...You both have hit an all time high for adventure...I went on a guided tour or Sulewesi ( Manado) , Indonesia on a dive trip..Incredible scenery.Think you were entirely on Sumatra.. The people we met were great...
But the traffic on those mountain passes..You both have nerves of steel..We agree..Lots of abandoned, burned out cars following crashes..Just on the way side..Wondered about cycling the same terrain while there..
I know you had your shots...The bugs flying about was intense.

There was a style of outdoor images that were frequently in the National Geogrpahic in the 50s and early 60s nicknamed the "red shirt school of photography." Bob and Ira Spring were big on putting people wearing red in their outdoor pictures.

Those photos certainly answer the question "why bicycle touring?"

Didn't Ira Spring die recently?
