Thanks for your interest. I found biking in India and SE Asia to be a really
great, if sometimes tricky, way to go. I flew to Bombay by myself, then
met other travellers along the way, then bought a great English
mountainbike from a woman who had given up on her plan to cycle the
world. Biked, stayed places, biked on, etc. Flew bike and self to Thailand
and continued north, then south, down to Indonesia. I biked Europe 10
years before that, on a five-month trip. Scandinavia was particularly
amazing; peaceful, beautiful.
