I wanted to say a place to crash but that wouldn't be appropriate;) My partner and I are avid cycle tourers and would like to give back. We presently live in Calgary and can offer cyclists traveling through a PLACE TO STAY and chill, repair etc etc. as well as ton's of info about some of the Canadian rockies tours - both Mountain biking and road tours. We're able to provide floor space, or camping pads close to downtown. Have a moderately decent shop for tuning or repairs and locking the bikes up as you tour the city. Is there any way you know of to pass this on to other cyclists, world citizens all, are welcome. We're already on Globalfreeloaders.com but reallly want to help out the cyclists most.
Cheers, peace and hope
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Great idea!
If you like to host cyclists you could consider becoming a member of warmshowers.
Warmshowers is an hospitality network from cyclists for cyclist with lots of members all over the world.
You might also consider to register with other hospitality organisations (apart from globalfreeloaders) like couchsurfing, globalfreeloaders, hospitalityclub and travelhoo.

I'm member of all of those (scottish-whisky or scottishwhisky) and I use them a lot as it is a cheap way to travel and more importantly you get to know the locals and their culture.
So if you're ever in Bayreuth feel free to come by smile

Cycle the world (with hospitality clubs),
Whisky

Hi Kevin, Hi Schwalli,

Bye
Thomas
