Bike Travel Exchange
 

Is there such a thing as an exchange or is it not the done thing?

Like say, someone would come from America and stay with a family in England, borrow a motorcycle and do some travelling, exploring, camping etc by mutual agreement. With or without the host and then a similar thing in reverse!

Has anyone tried this arrangment? (I can see it could be tricky unless everyone is easy going and understanding).

With the current global financial situation it would be far cheaper just to pay for a flight and meet with like minded people, borrow a bike and have fun.

Just a thought.

Have a look in the bike swap or rent section. There is an international organisation that does it but I can't remember what it's called. I'm sure if you check the forum above it will be mentioned somewhere?

This is the one: Welcome to Trans-Atlantic BikeShare (www.bikeshareworld.com)
