Cairo - Cape Town on a folding bike

We just finished an awesome trip on our Dahon folding bikes through Africa. After lots of other bike travels, we decided to take folding bikes this time. When the roads were bad or we didn't feel like cycling we hitch-hiked. We are convinced now that folding bikes are THE best travel bikes (unless you want to cycle every single km!); you just have to travel very light. We had a smallish backpack carrying our clothes, tent, sleeping stuff and cooking gear. You can follow our adventures on www.najo.co.za
