Road Maps

It might seem old fashioned but I prefer the old paper maps to guide me,rather than
a Garmin Edge 705!
paper road maps doesn't need to be plugged in a electric outlet to become operational.
You can't say the same about a Garmin!
In this Journey from London to Portugal I used:

Michelin, Great Britain&Ireland (713) scale 1:1000 000 www.viamichelin.com
Michelin, Asturias Costa Verde(142) scale 1:150000
Mapa de carreteras de Galicia Escala 1:300000 Evereste Editorial www.evereste.com

Traveling at night by Bike without the lights on

is more than halfway to a bad experience!

Some Bike lights that really

light up the night.

Riding a Bicycle Safely

It's not my intention to reinvent the wheel!

There are many Terabytes of useful information available for those

who decided to use a Bicycle in their everyday lives.

The issue of security should not be forgotten.

Some useful links to prevent you from being hit by a car while riding your Bicycle:
