Phoenix,
One of the things that appeals to me about cycle routes and 'peace' is that it is low key, it is low politics, it is low profile. Basically crossings at the two coastal points could be for cyclists (and pedestrians) only. That way all the difficulties of managing mass numbers of people are avoided. Smuggling etc would only be a theoretical problem.

Moreover, I've always been struck by the obvious advantages that Cyprus has for not only eco-tourism but for cycle tourism. With the exception of the summer months, year round temperatures are pretty good for cycling, and having dedicated cycle routes across the whole island might be a low key way of promoting low impact eco-tourism. A coastal route and a Troodos to Karpas would be ideal starters.

phoenix, cycling has become very popular now in Cyprus with the tourists. They even bring their own bikes with them. There are a few organized trail rides but I suggest you also do a search on the net to see what is available. Here's one.

Phoenix : . . . or as many as wish to join us along the way . . TCs included (if they behave!).

What do u mean by saying that ....... TCs if they behave they can join ..... !

What about those land mines you mentioned. They don't go all the way to the edge of the coastline do they?
All the coast lines are free from the land mines at Northern Part of the Cyprus. İ have no idea about Southern part of the Cyprus .Properly G_R will give u information.


Eliko : phoenix, on a more serious note (and may I congratulate you on your intended expedition?) I would like to sponsor you at 10 cents per Km, the proceeds to go to 'miltiades's' Cancer Tulip charity fund.

May be we contact with Cancer Tulip organisation . Cyclist from both sides will join .

I already make donations elsewhere but feel that this may be a venture worthy of attachment to such a cause, what do you think ?.

Phoenix : Well that may be so but we are not defeatists . .

We are presented with obstacles, but I'm not throwing in the towel (well not until it's sweaty ).

Just a little planning that's all we need.

U are correct little planing . While u are passing from the villages u will see with your own eyes how the people will cheer u .

Many Greek Cypriots attends to Classical Car rallies at north without problem.

GOOD LUCK

That's based on the assumption that they've cleared everything up but as is the case in all war-torn countries chances are they haven't and it won't be long before we have a victim unfortunately.

G_R my dear friend we can not live with ASSUMPTİON . We have to give correct information .
Cycling is planing at coastlines . thousands are going to sea sides everyday new roads are build up at coastlines .u can travel very easy from Kormacity to Karpasia also from Limnidi to Karpasia.

Everyday cyclist are passing at front of the my gate. today i stopped some of them and i talked them.they told me that they have Greek Cypriot cyclist friends as well they joined them to cycle around north Cyprus. İn October they are going to cycling at south Cyprus with Greek Cypriot friends. (For a Charity fond )They also said me they do this things without telling to politicians ,specially Greek Cypriot cyclist are under the pressure from their government anything at their eyes are recognition.
i took one of them phone number, when PHOENİX decides to go for cycling i will contact with this guy and he can talk with his Greek Cypriot friends to join .
