Welcome to BicycleTraveler.com, a casual resource for personal bicycle trek travelogues, commerical tour operators, helpful maps, and other bits of information. If you are interested in planning a bike trek, why not read the writings of someone who has done it before? Other people prefer to use established touring companies, many of these are included in the list of links as well. Suggestions are always welcome.
