We want our bikes back!!! It’s a torture to be on a bus. China has forbidden cyclists to cross the border to Pakistan, so we are forced to sit for some 200km on the bus. At this point we realize how much nicer is to travel by bike. On a bicycle you are part of the environment, on a bus you just are watching it from your window.You can stop anytime, talk to locals, be invited for a tea in their houses. With a bicycle you move very slow and you can feel the world around you in a much more relaxed way: sounds, noise, smells, wind, temperature, condition of the road. It’s a totally different experience.
