hello
je voudrais faire le tour de Madagascar a velo a la fin de mes etudes.
Je cherche des personnes qui auraient deja fait ca pour avoir quelques infos ou impressions.
je ne le ferait pas avant 3 ans donc j'ai le temps mais jme pose plein de questions, par ex opn m'a dit de bien choisir l'iltineraire car on pouvait se retrouver devant une etendue de 300Km desertique et avec 6l d'eau en reserve je sais pas si c'est possible de traverser lol
Si quelqun a deja fait ca quel itinieraire avez vous fait, j'ai penser a partir de Mahajanga pour descendre a Tulear en alternant cote, arriere pays si possible, ensuite Fort Dauhpin et la remonter la cote Est.
Combien de temps a votre avis pour un tour de l'ile a velo (en plus je n'est jamais fait de velo sur de grandres distance, il faudra que je m'entraine lol)
bref plein de question pour realiser ce reve, toutefacon je le ferais ailleurs si Madagascar est trop dur pour un "debutant".
merci et dsl si mon post est vague.
le pb c'est l'état des "routes", pas terribles en general, et impraticables en saison des pluies.
Un des rares routes goudronnées est la N7, de Tana a Tulear (900 bornes). Pour le reste, voir au fur et a mesure.
bon courage
Manahona!!...voila comment les Malagasy te salueront sur les pistes magiques et ocres de cette ile merveilleuse...j'y ai fait 2 voyages de 3 mois chacun...Madagascar est la 5e ile du monde dont immense, un poil plus grande que la France mais 17 millions d'habitants seulement...la cote est recoit les depressions oceaniques dont verte et fertile, les hauts plateaux de laterite rouge sont au centre, le sud a des deserts, l'ouest et le nord un mix de regions seches et tropicales..procures toi le Lonely Planet, le top!!j'habite aux USA et apres 20 de voyages et beaucoup en velo, Madagascar est pour moi un des derniers paradis du voyage en velo...tres peu de routes goudronnees, tres peu de voiture, des pistes et sentiers de reve...j'aime la recherche d'itineraire, lire la carte, demander la petite pite que les gens du coin connaissent...fuir le bruit, le goudron, les voitures et les touristes...sur une piste, les gens marchent et tu les rencontrent, le rythme est lent, la nature est toute proche...rechercher l'authentique, le vrai visage de Mada'...je ne connais pas toute l'ile mais la cote Nord-Est est pour moi un tresor de monde sauvage, tres peu touristique car peu accessible...d'abord tu dois te procurer les cartes topo de la FTM (trouvable a Paris dans les librairies specialisees voyages)...meme anciennes, elles sont la meilleure source pour une bonne orientation...sans elles c'est comme faire de la rando pedestre avec une carte routiere de France generale...ecoute la derniere pub de l'IGN sur France Inter, elle exprime tout a fait c'est qu'est une carte topo precise qui te delivrent les secrets de la planete...taxi brousse de Tana' a Tamatave (Toamasina en malgache)..puis une petite departementale calme pour te mettre en jambe jusqu'a Sonierana Ivongo...la tu peux sauter dans un petit bateau et aller visiter la assez touristique Ile Sainte Marie..mais personnellement, ce n'est pas ce que je recherche sur un voyage...sinon tu traverse la riviere en pirogue, pas de probleme pour le velo ils ont l'habitude des chargements encombrants..tu trouves maintenant sur une piste qui s'appelle la Nationale 5...du temps de la presence francaise, elle etait tres frequentee...aujourd'hui la nature reprend le dessus, du telegraphe ne reste que les poteaux..longeant le canal du Mozambique et ses coraux, tu vas de villages en villages de pecheurs..les hauts plateaux a l'ouest deversent leurs eaux douces en cascades et rivieres...en septembre-octobre, c'est l'epoque des litchis, un delice de voir les arbres charges de fruits et quel regal...mangues, bananes, poisson, legumes, viande de zebu et riz, beaucoup de riz..quoi demander de mieux..ca sent la vanille et le clou de girofle...peuple paisible, souriant, accueillant...tu continues jusqu'a Mananara...la tu peux partir plein ouest vers les hauts plateaux ocres..belle exploration de la foret, des lemuriens, villages de montagnes jusqu'a Saromoana et Marotandrano..toute petite piste empruntee par les villageois qui vont au celebre marche de zebu de Marontradrano...en 1997, j'ai fait la piste avec deux freres rencontres dans un village, contre argent ils m'ont aide en portant mes sacoches car ce n'est pas toujours cyclable...mais quel beau voyage...de Marotandrano, piste principale, tu descends plein sud jusqu'a Ambatondrazaka et le lac Alaotra..j'ai ensuite pris le celebre train jusqu'a Tana', genial, mais je ne sais pas s'il est toujours en service...le train malgache est vieux et lent mais fabuleux..je sais qu'une ligne est encore ouverte dans le sud est..sinon de Mananara, tu continues plein nord jusqu'a Maroantsetra...gros port de peche artisanale, bateaux typiques, les boutres...la presqu'ile de Masoala est une jungle tres riche en faune et flore de reputation mondiale...possibilite de ballade guidee..pour ce qui du velo, c'est le bateau!!..pour contourner la presqu'ile jusqu'a Vinanivao a l'extremite de la presqu'ile...aller sur le port et discuter avec les pecheurs pour trouver le bateau qui traverse..une nuit de traversee..retour sur la terre ferme..piste de reve jusqu'a Ambohitralanana, puis petite departementale jusqu'a Antalaha..de la tu peux t'enfoncer dans les terres jusqu'a Andapa ou continuer au nord jusqu'a Antsiranana...de Tana' a Antsiranana m'a pris 4 semaines en roue libre...en un mot, pour moi le voyage en velo c'est comme la vie de tous les jours...c'est legerete, tout terrain..c'est la liberte de mouvement..c'est creer son itineraire...ne pas subir une route goudronnee qui relie deux points...mais lire la carte, denicher, flairer le bout de sentier ou de piste qui va t'emmerveiller...et Madagascar c'est tout ca...oui l'acces a certaine region est difficile mais c'est la ou se cache le tresor et ton velo est le meilleur moyen pour y parvenir...j'habite au fin fond du Colorado, un petit paradis encore preserve car les gens vont ou vont les autres, ils suivent et ne cherchent pas....voila, je voulais te repondre en deux lignes, mais parler de Madagascar et de voyage en velo en meme temps c'est plonger son esprit dans les souvenirs et son imaginaire dans le futur...bon voyage, Veloma!!...si tu veux plus de photos, passes moi tom email address..Juju.

Merci beaucoup pour ta reponse Goodjuju.
voila emon mail (si tu peux envoie moi d'autres photos)
quand est tu parti ?
est ce que l'ete est la "bonne" periode ?est ce que la saison des pluie est au meme moment qu'en Afrique continentale ?
est ce qu'il faut etre un roxor au velo pour pouvoir esperer tenir ce voyage ?
bref plein de questions....
ha oui aussi;est ce que c'est dangereux de dormir au milieu de nul part dans une petite tente ?
merci
Salut, j'y suis parti les deux fois en septembre-octobre-novembre...ideal...voyager en velo est particulier...ca me rappelle la question d'un journaliste au francais qui a traverser le Pacifique a la rame.."vous etes vous beaucoup entraine?"..il repondit "Je vais ramer pendant trois mois, ca devrait suffir!!'...il te faut du DESIR et de L'ENVIE avant tout..tu trouves ton propre rythme...le celebre cycliste allemand qui voyage en velo depuis 20 ou 25 ans a surement plus de km qu'un coureur pro mais il ne s'alignera pas pour autant au Tour de France...en course, on regarde son compteur, en voyage, on contemple le paysage...tu peux camper partout sereinenement a la campagne...population paisible et pacifique..pas d'animaux dangereux si ce n'est le mosquito...moustiquaire indispensable..pour bien dormir et eviter la malaria...je te parlais du train, il relie Fianarantsoa a Manakara...magnifique...de Manakara, tu dois pouvoir remonter la Cote Est vers le Canal des Pangalanes...l'avantage du velo, c'est leger et pratique si tu dois grimper dans un train, un taxi-brousse ou une pirogue...je n'ai pas en tete les periodes de mousson qui different entre l'est et l'ouest...tu trouvers bon nombre de reponse dans le Lonely Planet et les cartes de la FTM (trouvables a Paris et a Tana)...si tu aimes l'orientation, chercher LE passage, utiliser boussole et GPS, demander aux locaux des infos..alors les pistes secretes de Mada' t'attendent..sinon tu restes sur les pistes evidentes et c'est sans soucis...pour l'eau, sois ecologique et utilises un filtreur katadyn (autonomie et ecologie)..pour le velo, cadre acier (reparable n'importe ou), selle confort, sacoches ortieb et racks tubus...le top... je t'envois des photos bientot..

Ok merci beaucoup pour ta reponse.
c'est sur qu'il faut avant tout la volontée mais bon, ne serait que pour "recuperer"entre 2 journée de velo je pense qu'il faut un minimum d'entrainement pour ne pas gacher ce beau voyage par la fatigue et douleur...
je ne sais pas si je l'ai dit mais je n'est pas encore d'itineraire a part que grosso modo je prefere les petites pistes (du moment qu'elles ne sont pas trop sabloneuse mais ca c'est une autres histouires apparement🙂)et puis j'ai penser a partir du nord de la cote est (mahajanga ?) ensuite descendre a Tulear, Fort Dauphin et ensuite remonter par la cote...pour l'instant c'est vague comme itineraire
A une derniere questions si ca vous ennuie pas lol: quelle temperature en moy pdt la saison seche et des pluie ?est ce qu'il y a une grosse difference entre le nord et le sud et les cote et le centre de l'ile ?
j'ai pas trouver de reponses.
merci
Salut, la cote est recoit les depressions oceaniques donc plus verdoyante, ombragee et aeree par l'air de l'ocean indien, sans compter les pluies intermitentes qui viennent rafrichir l'atmosphere. Donc meme s'il fait chaud en sept-oct (comme en ete dans le sud francais...sans canicule), c'est beaucoup vivable qu'au sud et ouest. La carte Michelin generale te donnera une vue globale mais si tu veux creer ton itineraire, tu dois te procurer les cartes FTM. Et si tu veux rouler longtemps sans probleme, pneus Schwalbe Marathon, tube de selle suspendu Rock Shox, potence suspendue Softride, 3 porte-bido et une bonne pharmacie. Ciao.

Looking for a female travel companion for a cycling trip (arriving by plane in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and cycling toward Montevideo, Uruguay, returning by plane to France from Buenos Aires, Argentina) – 1,500 km
Hello everyone!
I’m planning a cycling trip across Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina, with a departure set for late October, November, or December. I’m looking for a travel companion to share this long-distance adventure with.
Experience:
I already have solid experience in bicycle touring in Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. Currently, I maintain excellent physical condition by cycling an average of 250 km over 3 days per week (4 hours a day at 20 km/h).
The trip & the pace:
Daily pace: Between 50 and 80 km per day, to make steady progress while taking time to explore.
Accommodation: Flexible and authentic. We’ll alternate between wild camping, campsites, Warmshowers, small guesthouses, and budget hotels depending on opportunities and the weather.
Looking forward to reading your message and planning this amazing journey together!
Hi there,
I’m planning to bike to meet some friends in Côte d’Ivoire in early November.
I’ll be starting in Abidjan and heading to Abengourou, which is close to the Ghana border.
I’d like to take the trails. Does anyone have recent info on eastern Côte d’Ivoire?
Any tips, safety advice, or must-see stops? I’m open to all suggestions.
Thanks in advance for your help!

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.
I just took a trip in Tunisia from Tozeur to Douz, skirting Chott el Jerid to the south. I’m back with the urge to keep going further south via the 4x4 tracks to connect Douz to Ksar Ghilane. Has anyone driven this route recently or explored southern Tunisia?
Thanks for your tips!

😎Fellow traveling cyclists or not, all of you who love travel, the pleasure of physical effort, nature, beautiful machines, people with true passions they seek to fulfill, and who also enjoy reading great literature about all this—the *200* magazine is for you just as it is for me. I should mention I have no financial or other interest in this (in an era where we accuse our politicians of all sorts of vile interests, I prefer to take precautions). I’ve been subscribed since the beginning, and every three months, I get my 130 pages of dreams (the magazine just went from 110 to 130 pages).
It covers everything from the trans-America route to the TCR (Trans Continental Race) from Belgium to a small town in Turkey, with mind-blowing averages—4,000 km and 80,000 m of elevation gain in 8 days and 15 hours for the winner. Let that sink in, and all of it without assistance—accepting a patch could penalize you. There’s also a story about crossing Iran, encountering one of the world’s most welcoming populations, following in the footsteps of Nicolas Bouvier, as well as retirees leisurely traversing France. The common thread in all these stories? Beautiful writing. Take, for example, a stunning article: *"Passengers of the Cold: From Edinburgh to Thurso, at the very north of Scotland, 550 km of moors, coasts, and icy wind. In Thurso, the road ends at a quay, facing the Orkney Islands. We wanted a November trip, off-season. We wanted to surprise winter. Just before the snow."* A sublime piece on the experience of facing adversity and the chance encounters along the road and in the elements.
Before I embarked on my own bike trips, I dreamed a lot about them—from the Atacama to the Gobi, along the Mekong, and not forgetting France. And now, these 130 pages every quarter keep those dreamy vibes alive through stories written in the most beautiful prose.
I’ll stop here because it might sound like I’m advertising, but if you don’t know *200*, I invite you to discover it. It’ll give you wings for the most incredible challenges or simply reinforce your desire for slow rides with your eyes open to others and nature.
A little news to wrap up: Axel Carion and a friend just broke the record for crossing South America from Colombia to Ushuaia in 59 days. On its own, that doesn’t mean much, but I can’t help it—it makes me dream. You should see how he talks about it, the flashes of that wild nature he’s stored away: a snowstorm at Paso Jama and the surreal sight of the suddenly snow-covered Licancabur!
Luc
PS: The magazine is called *200* because a day’s ride starts at 200 km—well, I’ve never done a ride like that since my longest was 167 km (with 18 kg of luggage, mind you), but why not one day? The magazine will explain how to tackle your first 200, and then the question in conclusion: when will you do your first 300?😏
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?
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.

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
Hello,
Has anyone here had experience using a gas stove in Sardinia and Sicily? I’m wondering if screw-on gas canisters (not the blue Campingaz ones, but brands like Coleman, Primus, etc.) are easy to find.
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!

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.
Hi there, I’m planning a cross-Canada bike trip, and I’ve got a question that might seem silly, but could someone tell me how to pack a bike (in a box, with a fragile sticker... I don’t know) for a flight? Thanks in advance!
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
I’ve gotten used to crossing Europe by bus to return by bike.
It was really convenient to take the bike without having to disassemble it.
But FlixBus no longer accepts bikes...
What alternatives do you know about?
Thanks.
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!

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?
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.

Hi there, we’re a group of 4 cyclists looking to get from Treviso in Italy to Munich with our 4 non-folding bikes. It seems complicated! Are there any solutions? Thanks so much.
Hi there, we’re planning a Munich to Venice bike trip at the end of June 2026. Getting back from Venice to Toulouse by train with 4 bikes isn’t straightforward. What return options have others who’ve done this trip chosen? Any tips or great deals would be much appreciated. Thanks a bunch! !
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.
Hi, I'd like to know if anyone has done this route recently or has reliable info.
Does the track exist, and most importantly, is there sand (for biking)?
Any info is welcome.
Cheers,

Hi there,
New to bike touring,
I’d love to start with a section of the Via Rhona to explore and share (route to be decided).
Looking forward to exchanging tips!
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!
