Anyone done any serious cycling in Australia? Did you take your own bike or get one there ?
I've never toured Australia, but I have toured in different countries in Europe. I've never shipped my own bike. Too expensive and so many things could go wrong! If you go through an adventure type travel agency, they usually provide you with decent bikes and support.
Try BackRoads (www.backroads.com) to get some planning ideas. They have a great trip through New Zealand! I have taken several trips with them and highly recommend. |
