Seeking advice on cycling overseas

dstealy · #1 09-01.-2009

Hello, I am a long-time lurker on this forum, but this is my first post.

I am seeking advice on the quality of cycling in various countries.

My wife is a US Foreign Service Officer and we are researching locations for her next two-year post. I am an avid cyclist (and ex-triathlete ) so one of our considerations for her next posting is the feasibility of safely going for long rides in the host county, preferably with a local group.

We are currently living in a smaller Southern Africa capital city and I’ve been able to find a small group of cyclists to ride with, so it can be done, but the traffic here is not super heavy and security is not a major problem.

Here is a list of the countries we are looking at, and any of the cities we are looking at will have either embassies or consulates, so they will be some of the bigger cities in any of the countries.

Macedonia
Albania
Israel
Jordan
Bulgaria
Bosnia
Malaysia
Tunisia
Greece
Hungary
Italy
Latvia
Poland
Portugal
Brazil
Columbia
Panama
Ecuador
Chile
Armenia
Romania
Belarus
Ukraine
Slovakia
Serbia
Turkey

Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks for the help.
