Cuba by bike

Peter Schwar said:

Are there any Canadians here who have toured Cuba on a bicycle? I'd like to
hear from you as I'm planning a trip and want to know what to expect. I can
be found at draisienne (at) hotmail (dot) com . Regards, Peter

The below is a post I wrote many years ago. I'm sure many of these links
are no longer any good. If so, then use http://archive.org/ to get them.

Here are some web sites on bicycling in Cuba:

And this may give you some ideas of routes you could take:

Adventure Tours - MacQueen's Bicycle Tours

These people used to do bike tours, but no evidence that they still do at
their site. But a nice info site, anyway.
