Useful tips for a bike trip

5.  To decorate your bike, with flags from countries that you already or will cross, can be really
     useful, because people  begin to pay attention, and on that way people get garrulous and
     cooperative.

6.  If you reached a city, you already have a place where to stay and just want to drive with
     your bike through it, take the big bag with you that makes you recognizable as a
     Globetrotter - it awakes interest.

7.  If you are travelling through restless countries, make sure to regularly keep in touch with
     the local  police, they could for example warn you in case you´re crossing a dangerous
     section. (My own  kidnapping) + If you are travelling through Middel or South America,
     try to just drive between 8.00 am and 6.00 pm (just at daylight) - it is just way safer
