For all those cyclists out there, the founder of the Globetrotters Club,
\n Norman Ford is an avid cyclist and has a web site: www.ktc.com\/~blodwen<\/a><\/b> which urges
\n readers to tour the world by bicycle on their own. To give some ideas,
\n he lists reports on about a dozen bike tours or bike vacations he’s taken
\n in the past 5 years.<\/p>\n

But the real heart of the site is the menu link to “Helpful Websites
\n for Bicycle Touring” which links to just about every website for
\n self-reliant bike tourists he could find and covers the world. <\/p>\n

Moreover, if you are interested in knowing a little more about the history
\n of the Globetrotters Club, when you go to Norm’s web site, have a look
\n at the link at the bottom called www.globetrotters.co.uk which gives you
\n an idea of what he’s been up to since 1945! It’s great reading!<\/p>\n

Norm is happy to answer e-mail queries except during the fourth quarter
\n of the year when he is away travelling the world by bicycle ~ now
\n there’s an offer! Norm’ can be contacted via his web site.<\/p>\n
