For many the appel of bicycle touring comes from the simplicity and independence of biking from one destination to the next. As cyclists tracel forward, constantly exploring new and unknown territory, they rely on a steady stream of information to find food, water, lodging and safe routes, all of which are vital to making a bike tour run smoothly. For many cyclists manu of these details are left uncertain due to the lack of specific information surrounding a route, town or region.
