This site is chronicling Peter Gostelow’s cycling tour through Africa. I followed Peter’s last tour from Japan to his home in the UK and it was incredible. He’s a great photographer so that keeps it really interesting.

I’ve been keeping up with this blog for a little while now and he seems to have similar tastes to me. He’s really up on the stuff he posts and I find myself anxiously awaiting his next post.

Anything you want you can find here. It’ll cost you but if you’re looking for imported bike parts or new old stock hard to find components euroasia is the your bet.

I don’t think anyone has ever or will ever compile such a huge amount of information on bicycles. Sheldon Brown was the most informed person in the world of cycling. RIP

Adventure Cycling Association has done a lot for the sport of Bicycle touring and continues to. I’ll admit we all have complained about the routes on their maps a time or two but they continue to put out quality maps and advocate cycling.

A good friend’s blog about frame building. He’s really putting out some nice stuff lately and given some more years of steady work could end up being one of the best.
