Riding in Cuba

Hello there,

has anyone out there got any experience with riding in and around Cuba? Is it easy to find fuel? Are the roads okay? What will the weather be like at Christmas time? Would it be cheaper to rent a bike instead of shipping one over or is renting even possible? Any help anyone may have would be appreciated. Thanks.

PJ.
