But if you are thinking of cycling around the island, thats a bit crazy given the nature of roads and trafic there. I suppose its not all bad. You can hire a van to transport you + bike on the busiest routes. The are plenty of better places in SE asia to cycle. |

Checkout "Biking Asia with Mr Pumpy": http://www.mrpumpy.net IIRC there was an article in Australian Cyclist about a ride where they take you to the top of a mountain before dawn, and basically you spend all morning riding downhill. Might be a bit pedestrian, but if I ever goto Bali I'll be doing it. -kt |

Anywhere in the region. Puts an even bigger question mark over personal safety besides the traffic and road/track conditions. http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/zw-...dvice/Indonesia -- |

Re: riding in Bali
Hmmm, good timing for a post on cycling in Bali, here's a article
from abc.net, Bali on a Bike - Presenter: Eoin Cameron <http://www.abc.net.au/perth/stories/s1143443.htm> Wednesday, 30 June 2004 Cycling past Gunung Agung, Bali's highest peak. So many Australians have been to Bali, but Andrew Bain took his bicycle...and loved every moment of it. Andrew Bain is a former editor for The lonely Planet , and a travel writer for The Age. He published a book last year about cycling around Australia. He tells Eoin Cameron "anytime I travel anywhere in a car now I get totally bored, it kind of transforms you". It's perhaps unsurprising that Andrew would therefore take only two wheels on his first visit to Bali. -- |
