Lazy Louie

Lazy Louie was a legend that you didn’t want to miss.

In Hartville, Missouri he built the “Lazy Louie Bicycle Camp,” a popular rest stop for cross-country cyclists.

On his old Gibson guitar, he played his unforgettable bicycle touring songs such as Biker’s Dream and My hard bicycle seat.

Lodging

In Tanzania, cheap guesthouses have everything a cyclist needs: a bed, mosquito net, shared bathroom and a bar full of beer.

Some owners go a step further by decorating the walls, placing a couch, or even fetching a Chipsi Mayai for you.
