How many countries ... ?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Cycled in the Republic of South Africa and the USA. FWIW I've pedaled underground in both places too.

Edit: Costa Rica also; surface only in the Carrillo Beach area under the Coconut palms.

I don't think that "line" is very blurry.
I've biked in El Paso, btw.

Not a separate country, but I have done some semi-exotic cycling on some Chesapeake islands.

Smith, I think it was fixed gear mountain bike owned by the bed and breakfast of a town with a population in the double digits, all watermen as profession (and innkeeper) The chain actually managed to slip off on a non-shifting bike

Fox, a bay foundation center, they rigged up a bike to pull up water for whatever they do with it (hopefully not drinking) and it gets harder as the psi increases
