(We keep our gears and just leave the bikes or whatever) And we don&#39;t care about the aesthetics, just functionality&#33; <br /><br />Does anyone know where I can find some old sturdy steel-framed bicycles (doesn&#39;t matter if it hasn&#39;t been used in 10 years or that it can&#39;t move anymore, we can fix them up ourselves&#33;) Or perhaps even know of someone who has a bicycle lying around and could loan it to us? We would actually like to recycle old bicycles before buying anything.<br /><br />Any advice would be greatly appreciated&#33; Thanks&#33; <br /><br />A little bit into my trip for those interested:<br /><br />Duration of trip: 3 weeks<br />Start: Medan<br />End: Banda Acheh<br />What will be happening: A lot of cycling, a lot of freedom camping, experiencing nature in its wildest form, experiencing people and cultures in their humblest form, conquering my fear of the unknown; unknown territories, people, time and events, stepping out of my comfort zone, days of no shower, living with minimal possessions and perpetually no luxury. Reflection, serenity, patience, endurance, liberty, adventure, discovery, a milestone. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br /><br /> kiagyuap The Sports Channel Tue, 27 Aug 2013 22:45:29 +0800
