In our latest Ten on Tuesday Photo Essay, we honor local shops from around the world
Like most bicycle travelers, we end up stopping at local shops several times a day. Whether it’s to quench our thirst with an ice cold coke, stock up on snacks or just hang out with the locals, shops end up being a focal point in each country we pass.
World Biking
Hi, I'm Amaya. Together with my husband, Eric, we make up the World Biking Team. We're two ordinary people on a quest to cycle every country on the planet. I tackle the blogging, fix the food and attempt to inspire others to give bicycle touring a try. Eric's in charge of the tough stuff like navigation, flat fixing and finding us a safe place to sleep.

I really enjoy reading your stories and looking at your photos. I’m curious about the kind of equipment you have on the road? My husband and I are planning to travel by bike next year and we are searching the best equipment for photography on the road. I do have a big SLR (Canon EOS 7D) but I am a bit concerned about the weight and it’s an expensive piece of equipment. So would it be better to look for a smaller and cheaper camera?
We have an SLR and have recently acquired a small Kodak easy share point and shoot.
I take a lot more pictures now that I have the tiny Kodak. It’s a lot less intrusive when trying to take pictures in markets and locals seem much less wary of it.
Of course the Kodak is low to react and the pictures certainly aren’t the same quality. Plus the Kodak is next to useless for an action photos.
I’d take the SLR plus a cheap point and shoot.
