As you might have guessed, we love the outdoors as well as animals at InasPawPrints.  Here's a tip about a site that outdoors folks who like to bike find remarkably helpful.  The link below takes you directly to the biking section of the site.  While you're there, check into some of the scientific writings.  Provocative.

"We tried one more recommended pub, which was in a hotel on the main street, where two guitarists and a fiddler were playing Irish jigs. After a song or two, we walked back to our hotel.  As we approached the front door of the darkened hotel around midnight, there was Simba, lying on the front steps.  I walked around him, and he never stirred.  He was, perhaps as they said, the laziest dog in the world.  But he was at his post."

  "This next picture shows a typical scene along the road to Ballyduff."  
 

Note: That speck you see in the center is the biker's friend.  Both photos are larger on Bob's site, and you'll also find detailed photos of such gear as special GPS equipment, with info on the differences in settings in other countries vs. here in the U.S., plus tips on bike paths, hotels, restaurants.
