Bicycle Touring
Hi all , i saw newspaper this recently got a young guys cycling from Penang to Taiwan. This is known as Bicycle Touring . Yeah , this sounds nuts but i was fun. Maybe G-club should organize some Tour like Penang to Pahang with Camping along . I hope to cycle touring, and give some help and information to those who might consider cycle touring as an alternative type of holiday. Cycle touring with a tent is a great way to see and explore a country. Here are a few things to recommend it.
*It's a relaxing way to see the country side, you tend to see and experience more of the country side from a bike than a car!
* There's more chance to explore the countryside by taking quieter tracks and lanes.
* You can go at your own pace, we have a brief idea of a route, but adjust it to how we feel and weather conditions.
* If we find a place that we like, we often stay for a few days and explore before moving on.
* It's not as expensive as some holidays. It's a healthy and environmentally friendly way to travel.
* By staying on local campsites and tourist farms there is more chance of getting to know the local people and understanding their culture.
