Bonjour voyageurs de france et de navarre...

Je sais je poste bcp en ce moment, mais j'ai besoin d'infos... Par exemple, pour les logements a bichkek. Comme tout le monde, j'ai un LP qui date un peu, et si je me refere a Almaty, ben y a plus grand chose qui correspond... Alors si vous connaissez des hotels ou guest house corrects sur Bichkek et surtout pas trop chers, ben je suis preneur.

Autre question a propos de la route bichkek-osh mi-octobre et de son etat. Est-elle enneigee, en gros est-elle faisable en velo ??

Merci a vous !

bonjour, pour les logements a bishkek, le lonely planet est plus fiable, un gars m'a dit qu'il en avait trouve un dans le centre, insrit sur le LP, truc famillial, tenu par un gars sympa qui n'avait pas augmente ses prix depuis 2 ans. sauf que je n'ai pas mon guide sous la main pour te trouver le nom... mais c'est pres de la place ala too, sinon, pour manger, le resto jalal Abad est le meilleur de tous ceux dans lesquel j'ai ete! et pas cher! A+ Olull

ah oui, pour la route jusqu'a Och... il commence a neiger dans les montagnes, donc si elle passe en altitude, renseigne toi...

Salut, Bishkek est une ville comme toutes les villes d'asie centrale qui change beaucoup, et vite, alors mes renseignements ne sont peut être plus bons, en plus je ne me souviens plus du nom mais il s'agit d'une des adresses du LP qui se situe derrière le palais présidentiel. Quand à la route bishkek-osh, on l'a parcourue en 2003 fin septembre, seule route véritablement goudronnée du pays, au niveau du col il faisait un peu froid mais pas encore de neige en revanche début octobre au sud du pays (vers la frontière chinoise ou tadjique) tempête de neige mais c'est à 3000m d'altitude donc un peu normal... consulte donc www.wunderground.com pour voir la météo... Ciao NB consulte donc mon site

Bonjour ou bonne nuit à tous! Je me fais le relais de mon ami qui arrive à Bishkek le 15 oct 06, vu qu'il est quelque peu bousculé dans sa préparation. 🤪 Si vous êtes dans les coins durant la période, vous pourriez être intéressés à partager ceci ou cela avec lui. Son pseudo est Leidelbeck, si vous voulez utiliser la messagerie interne du site. (sinon, vous m'écrivez, je serais en contact avec lui, je suis davantage présent, je relaierai) Il a pris un logement pour trois semaines - un mois, c'est son premier séjour en Kirghizie, mais il a quelques contacts locaux. Il ne sait pas trop ce qu'il va faire, randonnée, cheval, vélo, taxi-brousse, et en quelle quantité.

Je ne sais pas si les bergers kirghizes sont déjà descendus de leur montagne, s'il ira loger chez l'habitant, dans des yourtes, quand il se baladera.

Humh, la météo penche pour quasiment huit jours de temps plutôt pluvieux, ça commence bien. Je lui avais bien dit de prendre des bottes.

Je rappelle le site météo très riche qui permet d'avoir les infos météo des principales villes d'un pays, dans notre cas, taper KYRGYZSTAN, puis vous visualisez les prévisions à 4 et 7 jours, liste de villes personnelles permanente et facile, isobar satellite, etc..., n'en jetez plus: http://www.wunderground.com/ Il a déjà fait -21 quelque part en Russie, j'ai vérifié, et l'on annonce du -30 incessament. (des fois, ça s'étale vers le sud) 🙁

N'oubliez pas votre petite laine et la capuche, courage!

Je vous souhaite un bon séjour à tous, où que vous soyez rendus pour le moment, et continuez à nous en raconter, c'est utile pour ceux qui ne bougent pas, aussi.

Vive la Kirghizie, la République K, et vive la Fraaaance! 😎

Il ne doit plus rester grand monde dans les jailoos... On a vu les derniers bergers redescendre la semaine derniere. Il y a encore qqes yourtes, mais vraiment plus bcp. 1 seule a song kol, et bcp de camps sont deserts. Ici dans le sud il fait beau et chaud, on roule en t-shirt, mais dans le nord il faisait froid et pas mal de pluie. Et les cols pour rejoindre le sud etaient vraiment chauds, et je suppose que ca ne va pas s'ameliorer...

Bon courage a lui !

Salut!

Merci de tes infos. Je me suis un peu avancé en disant qu'on restait en contact, puisque je n'ai pas de nouvelles. Apparemment, il est toujours à la bourre. J'espère qu'il ne s'est pas fourré dans quelque piège. 😄

Portez-vous bien, tous les deux, il y a encore du chemin à faire. 🙂

Cycling from Assam through Nepal
Hello, We’d like to go on a 3- to 4-month bike trip starting in December, crossing from Assam (northeast India) to New Delhi via Nepal. Are there routes with light traffic along the Brahmaputra and through Nepal? We’re also looking for any info on accommodations, wild camping, local interactions, etc. Thanks, Michel

V45 Roscoff-Brest: Is there too much traffic in August?
Hi there,

I’m planning to cycle from Morlaix to Brest (via Roscoff and the V45 coastal route). We’ll start riding on August 16th for 13 days (with stops for island visits, surfing, etc.). Is there a lot of traffic at this time of year? I’ve got two kids, 11 and 13, and we don’t like riding in the middle of cars (we’ve already done the Vélomaritime—Caen to Cherbourg—the Loire route from Orléans to Saumur, the Vélodyssée from Nantes to Royans, and the canals like the Nivernais and Bourgogne, where there were plenty of bike-only lanes, which isn’t the case on this route).

Thanks for your help if you’ve already done this route in late August! Virginie

Questions about exploring the Carretera Austral
Hi there,

I’ve got my flight ticket sorted—departing in mid-November and returning in mid-March. I’ll arrive in Santiago and leave from Buenos Aires. I’ve already been to southern Argentina, specifically Torres del Paine National Park, and I’d love to go back to do the full W trek (I only did the shorter version last time). I also want to do some hiking and maybe even tackle a summit. I climb and occasionally do some mountaineering, so I’ll definitely be going with a guide.

I plan to start around Temuco in Chile, with the idea of heading toward the lakes, then taking the Carretera Austral. I’m not sure if I’ll go all the way to Ushuaia—it’s supposed to not be *that* worth it, except for the bragging rights of saying you’ve been to the end of the world.

I saw there are lakes in Argentina too.

I don’t have a precise itinerary, but what I’d love is, once I reach the southernmost point of my trip, to take a mini-cruise to see some wildlife. Any tips for that?

What kind of sleeping bag did you take? Is a 0°C (32°F) one enough? And one last question: white gas stove or can I get by with my gas stove?

Questions about the Vélosud route from Biarritz to Le Barcarès
Hi there, I’ve been road cycling for several years, and I’m about to switch to gravel in the next few days—I’m waiting for my bike, which should arrive this week. I’m planning a bikepacking trip in a few weeks along the Véloroute V81, also known as the Vélosud, from Biarritz to Le Barcarès. Has anyone here already done this route? Any info is welcome, whether it’s about the route itself, gear, or accommodation. I’ll prioritize staying with locals as much as possible. On that note, I just signed up for the brand-new site *Guidon et Couette* ((www.guidon-et-couette.fr)), which offers free accommodation between cyclists across the country, but there’s almost no one listed along my route! Thanks in advance. Laurent.

GPX Route Planning Tool
I'm developing a free and open-source web app for planning walking and cycling trips (and even car trips). You can create a route by clicking directly on the map to add waypoints, and it can consist of multiple stages. The app provides tools to edit the stages and the overall route, and to display useful information (distances, altitudes, and elevation changes). A relief profile can be shown as a graph for a specific stage or the entire route.

Once the route is ready, it can be exported as a GPX file, which can then be used with a GPS or a mobile navigation app.

The app is built in JavaScript and runs entirely in the web browser. It uses the Leaflet library and several OpenStreetMap-based services. Initially developed for my personal needs (I enjoy hiking and cycle touring), I’d be happy to share it with anyone who might find it useful. It’s free to use, doesn’t require an account, and the source code is available.

Making a packing case to bring your touring bike home
After testing it for three years across various modes of transport, I’m sharing this video of a bike packing case. It’s made from recycled cardboard and shrink-wrapped, with adjustable thickness and added bubble wrap depending on the level of protection you want. Installing spacers at the fork and chainstays makes the packaging compact. With the fifteen-odd euros for shrink-wrapping at the airport, this case travels really well. https://youtu.be/_GDJi-GqmkM - Low bulk (1.10m x 0.70m x 0.25m for a large frame), it fits vertically in train luggage compartments and the total dimensions (x+y+z) don’t exceed 2.40m. - Two carrying solutions for public transport and easy handling by airport staff (no more tears in the cardboard from openings). - Discreet packaging when dealing with bus drivers and train conductors, as it looks like an ordinary parcel. - No need to return to the starting point to retrieve the case from your outbound trip, which you’d otherwise have to store somewhere, or deal with a bulky cover to pack in your panniers. - You can still check tire pressure through the plastic film without damaging the packaging too much. Drawbacks: Around 3 hours for this lengthy and meticulous process—removing the wheels, pedals, handlebars, and derailleur without misaligning them, then securing all components to the frame. If you get a chance to test it, send me your feedback for future improvements.

What transport options are available for bikes from Rotterdam to Nantes?
Hi everyone,

This summer, we’re planning to cycle along the EV 19 that follows the Meuse River from Langres all the way to Rotterdam. My question is about getting back to Nantes. Do any of you know what the best return option might be? I’d love to hear about your experiences. I saw that FlixBus doesn’t take bikes. By train, I think it’s possible but would involve multiple local trains. We were also wondering if there’s a boat from Rotterdam to Saint-Nazaire that could take passengers with bikes.

Any tips or experiences you can share would be really helpful—thanks in advance! Have a great evening

Looking for bike rental suggestions in Rotterdam
Hi there, I’m planning to ride the Dutch section of the EuroVelo 19, from Maastricht to Rotterdam. Since it’s too complicated to bring my bike on the train, I’m looking to rent one locally. I’d love any tips or bike rental shop recommendations—I’m struggling to find options even in Rotterdam. The plan is to rent in Rotterdam, take the train to Maastricht with the bike, then cycle back to Rotterdam. Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions! Nath

Low-travel suspension fork for a touring bike
Hi there,

I’m planning to build a new touring bike. I want to prioritize lightness. That said, I’m tempted by a suspension fork that could offer some comfort on rougher roads. The recent appearance of gravel suspension forks on the market might meet my needs—at least on paper. I’m particularly considering the RockShox Rudy Ultimate XPLR fork. Unlike MTB forks, its travel is short: either 30 mm or 40 mm. It weighs 1400 g, which is 400/500 g more than a steel fork.

Any thoughts or real-world feedback on this?

I’m also wondering about the durability of magnesium (lower leg) for long-distance bike touring. And what’s the impact of skipping the manufacturer-recommended maintenance every 50 and 200 hours? That’s bound to happen on a long trip unless you carry extra gear. More generally, how reliable are these kinds of forks?

Thanks in advance

Provence - Cycling Around the Luberon, EuroVelo 8, and Other Bike Routes
Hi there!

I’m making an exception and creating a separate post this time, since it’s all about France. In May, we spent a week in Provence, specifically in the Luberon, exploring the cycling routes *Autour du Luberon à Vélo*, the *Véloroute du Calavon* (part of EuroVelo 8), and the shorter *Les Ocres à Vélo* route. Together, they gave us an amazing journey through rolling hills, vineyards, lavender fields still green in spring, and some of the most stunning landscapes in southern France.



It was, of course, the perched villages that impressed us the most. We visited Gordes, Roussillon, Bonnieux, Lacoste, Lourmarin, Ménerbes, Oppède-le-Vieux, Cucuron, and Lauris. Many of them are among the most beautiful villages in Provence, and it’s hard not to agree with that reputation.









One interesting point is the route of EuroVelo 8 in this part of the region. The official path mainly follows the old railway line of the *Véloroute du Calavon*, which is very comfortable and safe. But in our opinion, cyclists traveling EuroVelo 8 around the Mediterranean would discover even more treasures if the route passed through villages like Bonnieux, Lacoste, or Oppède-le-Vieux.





We were also pleasantly surprised by how safe cycling felt. Most of the route takes small local roads, but traffic is light, drivers are respectful, and road design really takes cyclists into account. It’s one of those places where you can ride peacefully even without separated bike lanes.

How to repair a Suntour SF11 fork and where to find parts?
Hi everyone, Happy owner of a Pegasus Estremo bike with a Rohloff hub, which is giving me trouble with the SF11-NCX-FT-E-LITE 700C TS 300/0 fork (serial number TD01329060). It’s starting to show its age, and I’d like to repair it to extend the life of my beloved bike.

The suspension is gone, and there’s an oil leak from the seals.

Does anyone know how to repair it? Where can I find parts that are about fifteen years old? Or where to find an identical replacement fork? Just to clarify, the Magura HS11 brakes are mounted using Firm Tech, meaning they’re on pivots behind the fork, facing the frame.

Thanks for your help! Have a great day, Alexandre

Biking in Madagascar: What loop route from Antananarivo?
hey everyone,

I’m landing in Madagascar with a buddy before the end of April 2026. We’re planning to bike around for about twenty days or so. We don’t have a specific goal other than exploring the country and meeting the locals.

Ideally, we’d prefer a loop route starting from Antananarivo with a good chunk of it along the coast. On the bike side, we’re used to riding 6 to 8 hours a day, depending on the needs, encounters, and mood 😉 Any feedback or tips from trips around this length?

A big thank you to Lazarou for all the info you share in this forum! I'm passionate about Morocco, which I cycled through back in 2009. Last year, my wife and I explored the High Atlas by tandem. Completely smitten, we're heading back in April (Anti Atlas) and May (High and Middle Atlas), still on our tandem. Do you have any info on the track between Amezri and Ali Ait Nito? Are the river crossings in the Tessaout still there? It's not easy to navigate with a loaded tandem... especially if the river level is high due to this year's heavy snowmelt!

Thanks in advance for any tips you might have, and best wishes for health in this new year!

I live (pedal) with the constant worry of a breakdown (leak, air bubble, heat causing the fluid to...). My bike mechanic tells me it’s impossible to switch them out for V-brakes.

Cycling Algeria’s Coast – January 2025 Trip Report
Hi everyone,

First post here to share a quick recap of our west-to-east bike trip along Algeria’s coast in January 2025. It was just the two of us—my partner and I—with French passports and not a word of Arabic. No friends or welcoming hosts in the country.

Under those conditions, we’d strongly advise against going.

Our original plan was to follow the coast from Algiers to Tunis. We ended up cycling from Algiers to Béjaia, then took the train from Béjaia to Annaba (with a stop in Constantine), and finally biked to the border. We were tailed by police the whole way—whether on our bikes, on the train, or even on foot while exploring towns. On top of that, we couldn’t wild camp and were limited to the few state-approved hotels that accept foreigners. Under those circumstances, connecting with locals was especially tough.

With such an omnipresent and intrusive police presence, we’d definitely recommend against this destination for bike touring. A really sad situation that completely cuts you off from the local population...

We’d been warned, we went to check it out, and we weren’t disappointed!

You’ve been warned.

Traffic conditions on the Louang Namtha–Houei Sai road for cycling across
Hi there,

Coming from Laos (*), I’m planning to enter Thailand by bike via the Fourth Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge.

Before this bridge was built, I’d already cycled the road from Louang Namtha to Houei Sai and crossed the river by boat to reach Thailand.

At the time, the condition of that road was impeccable, and most importantly, traffic was light.

So I’m wondering if anyone who’s taken it recently can tell me whether traffic has increased since the bridge opened.

Thanks in advance!
