South Atlantic / Cycling to Key West

« on: December 14, 2020, 12:56:20 pm »

Im thinking of biking thru part of Florida and taking the ferry from Ft. Myers to Key West, then cycling north. Has anyone taken the ferry from Ft. Myers to Key West?  It appears that their restrictions on bikes would prevent more than two carry-ons/panniers (I plan on 4, front and back and a handle bar bag).  Has anyone done this?  Would appreciate any comments.

Fairly new to bike touring.  Looking for information/advice on biking from Cleveland to Buffalo later this year (fall).  Plan is to continue on to Albany, NY on Erie Canal towpath. Will probably arrive in Cleveland by Amtrak from Washington DC.

General Discussion / Pedals Recommendation

« on: June 29, 2018, 03:50:14 pm »

I am new to bike touring; in fact just ordered a bike.  I would like to get opinions about advantages or disadvantages to clipless or flat pedals.  My road bike has Look-Keo pedals, so I'm used to being "clipped in".  I plan on touring on gravel or bike paths mostly; not off-road.  Interested in opinions of clipless shoes for walking.  Thank you.
