Back from the GBI

Got back 10 days ago, unfortunately I didn't have a functional computer to update the blog or upload the pictures. But i finally bought one of those little netbooks, very handy.

The trip all in all was like a magical dream... just cycling from eastern Europe, Prague, onto Eastern Germany, down to Western Germany was just crazy. All the green fields roads and lovely people.

I never imagined myself cycling with a whole team all that distance, and specially the last three days I felt like i was a part of this team, it was magnificent.

This is the link to the photos, hope you enjoy them...

About the Blog

No Lanes Land covers the bicycle touring experiences of an Egyptian Cyclist in one of the least cycling friendly places in the globe, Egypt.

Details about cycling in Egypt aren't really available, even though many cyclists do pass by Egypt.

The idea started when my friend Mo and I thought about doing a cycling trip from Cairo to Petra, Jordan. The plan of course changed by time and I had to do it alone, and on the road I changed my destination to Amman.

This was the start of my cycle touring. I will try to provide as much information as I can, regarding cycling in Cairo and Egypt in general, the roads and routes, that will be useful to cyclists who want to cycle in Egypt, either passing by or living in Egypt.
