Default Re: Bicycle tourism?

i did this briefly in the united states and new zealand. went from boston to baltimore, things ren{t really set up for doing a biking trip like that and i wouldnt recommend it, the roads used to bike were bad, in fact the first day i got lost was biking when it was cold all the way to 11 at niht i didnt have a light couldnt see and had to bike on a bike highway to reach a hotel. other days included going down busy roads in connecticut which were surprisingly steep and long in the rain which was super dangerous and getting caught in a strong thunderstorm where i saw lighening hit pretty closet o me which scared the [censored] out of me. on the other hand new zealand seemed like a good place to do it, it{s possible to bike from hostel to hostel or from bread and breakfast to bead adn breakfast frequently as opposed to the US which was hotels, but the roads are still not what you might think, also be prepared its hard i wasnt mentall prepared so gave up arly on the new zealand trip
