Links and Resources

I turn to the internet for all kinds of touring information. Listed below are some of my favorite resources.

Anne Mustoe - A Bike Ride is a good read. A 54 year old English woman and headmistress of a boarding school cycles the world - twice! She didn't even have a bike when she made her decision. Anne Mustoe has written many books that inspired me to begin touring.

Adventure Cycling is a bike advocacy site. It has one of the largest bike route networks in the world at over 40,000 miles. They provide valuable maps of the many routes they have designed throughout the US. The maps of the Pacific Coast route gave me the confidence to start my first tour.

Bent Rider Online is a major resource for all things recumbent.

Crazyguyonabike is a site with over 5,000 journals dedicated to bike touring.

Cycle Blaze is a newer site for cycling blogs. It is free to use and more modern than Crazyguyonabike.

Electric Bike Report - a comprehensive website about the latest in electric assist.

Cat Trikes - American made tricycles with a big following.

Hostel Shoppe is one the oldest recumbent shops in the US located in Wisconsin. They carry all kinds of parts.

HP Velotecknik - German made high quality folding tricycles with suspension.

Miles from Nowhere by Barbara Savage is still my favorite bike touring book.

PNWRCG (formally OHPV) - Pacific Northwest Recumbent Cycling Group facebook page where you can find all kinds of recumbent information including local rides. This group is responsible for hosting the Recumbent Retreat at Ft. Stevens State Park on the Oregon coast every September.

T-Globe - has lots of good information about traveling in Thailand.

Terracycle - manufacturers of high quality recumbent parts and accessories.
