a heads up about Cuba,
By crash worship (Bay Area, Ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Cycling Cuba (Lonely Planet Cycling Guides) (Paperback)
I took a cheaper mountain bike that was fixed up for riding on the road to cuba. No doubt that riding around havana is a pleasant way to go. However on the longer one day rides(Veradero to Cienfuego) I found the bike allot less appropriate to the airconditioned buses zooming by. There were moments riding eastward towards Trinidad that justified this style of traveling, however whichever direction I went there seemed to be a headwind. The local kids know this and rode my back wheel whenever they could. I saw one other cyclist on the road with a high end bike. No doubt they intended to take their bike back home. I elected to give it away before returning, I hope you do the same.
