Advantages: Great to have a bike. Disadvantages: Can be price if you want quality
...As all the title says here is Top Touring 2000. I am not entirely sure what it is about. Is it about the bikes? The tour itself? Or what? Anyway. Here is my account of touring through Switzerland and Germany.
I have been a bit of a bike nut as you may have seen if you've read "The folding london experience" about the folding bikes.
