Re: Europe is open - who's going?

The thing i don't understand about not excepting foot/bike bookings is if on the ferry to spain for instance are they expecting all the people to sit in their vehicles for 24hrs of the crossing? when all those people get out of their cars and go into the ferry what difference would it make from a foot passenger/cyclist? .Except the part where they can keep people in their cars before boarding of course,but when they park and get out its all the same isnt it.oh well.

Re: cheap external cup bottom brackets

Just put two of these in the basket and bar tape and a few bits and bobs to make the postage seem not so bad(well it made sense at the time:),anyway when making an account it just wouldn't except my postcode (U.K.),is there a different way of doing it on german sites when posting to the U.k.?,cant see what else I could have done really,my postcode is what it is.

Tenerife cycling and bike hire.

Hi folks,anyone cycled in Tenerife,just looking to book a week end of December and looking to hire bike for a week (road bike if possible),and i'd quite like to cycle as close up to mount teide as possible,where would you guys look to be staying ,I know this is a very general question ,I am just about to google some things and do more research but I thought you knowledgeable folks could give me some tips to help (like decent bike hire places,places to stay not to close to the more noisy/nightlife places/towns).
