\"\"
Typical biking in Bangladesh: quiet, shady roads perfect for cycling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As a touring destination<\/strong>, Bangladesh ranks up there with backwaters like Brunei and Burundi.\u00a0\u00a0 The cyclists who do trickle into the country are usually on multi-year tours.<\/p>\n

With so few two-wheeled tourists, the country is something of an unknown quantity.<\/p>\n

I knew that Bangladesh is incredibly crowded, and that was about it.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0With a little research, I learned Bangladesh has the highest population density of any country in the world (barring tiny city-states like Singapore and Monaco).<\/p>\n

As you might imagine, this knowledge didn\u2019t exactly enamor me to the idea of a big bike ride across Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

And then I got an email from Grace Johnson of Bicycle Traveler magazine fame.\u00a0 Here\u2019s how she responded \u00a0when I mentioned we were heading to Bangladesh:<\/p>\n

I’m jealous that you will be going through Bangladesh, we loved it there!\u00a0<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

LOVED<\/i> touring Bangladesh?\u00a0 That came as a surprise.<\/p>\n

Turns out Grace had good reason to be so smitten with Bangladesh.\u00a0 The country, we were soon to discover, has much to offer for the intrepid tourist.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not always an easy destination, but one that is infinitely rewarding.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what we\u2019ve learned about bike touring in Bangladesh:<\/p>\n

Cyclists become celebrities!<\/h3>\n

Roll across the border into Bangladesh and incredible you<\/i> (hitherto just a smelly foreigner on a bike) will be instantly elevated to star status.\u00a0 Crowds gather, pictures are snapped and you\u2019ll even receive the occasional request for an autograph.<\/p>\n

Anonymity is impossible.\u00a0 Nothing (not even touring in remote parts of Africa) can prepare you for the attention you will attract in Bangladesh.\u00a0 It is simply mind-boggling.<\/p>\n

Many cyclists find the attention factor difficult to deal with.\u00a0 While it may feel flattering at first, the constant watching will undoubtedly grow tiresome by day two of your Bangladesh tour.<\/p>\n

What to do?\u00a0 Accept the situation.\u00a0 Why try to figure out what\u2019s so fascinating about scruffy foreigners in dirty clothing?\u00a0 Foreign tourists are rare in Bangladesh and your very presence is cause for much excitement.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n

\"\"
A large number of onlookers on our very first day biking in Bangladesh. Disconcerting at first, but we quickly learned that crowds are friendly and curious.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Public restrooms are rare in Bangladesh and it’s almost impossible to dash behind a tree because SOMEBODY is always looking. This is the crowd that gathered when I stopped to use the outhouse (incredibly clean) in a small village. They were all very enthusiastic and fun to chat with.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Honestly Interested.<\/h3>\n

Naturally, you will be obliged to answer all the usual questions regarding your nationality, mission, age, marital status and number of offspring.\u00a0 In some countries, that\u2019s where it stops.\u00a0 But in Bangladesh, people are truly interested in you and why on earth you\u2019ve decided to visit their often overlooked country.\u00a0 They want to know more!<\/p>\n

In rural areas not everyone speaks English, so communication can be hampered.\u00a0 After the basic questions have been exhausted, locals will stare, and you\u2019ll grow increasingly uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

Then someone will have the bright idea to scramble off and fetch the village English teacher.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0He\u2019ll come bounding up, breathless with excitement and exertion.\u00a0 Finally, he can practice the language he has spent so much time learning with honest-to-goodness foreigners!<\/p>\n

Talking with the teacher will be much nicer than having the same six question repeatedly lobbed at you from all sides.\u00a0\u00a0 With the teacher as translator, you can even crack jokes and move on to more fulfilling conversation.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Locals always have time for a big wave and often stop to chat.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At your Service<\/h3>\n

Bangladeshis are generally kind, hospitable and very helpful.\u00a0 They will gladly escort you to a restaurant or hotel and even help you carry your heavy panniers up the narrow stairway to the 5th floor.\u00a0 Nobody will try to charge you double for a meal or play any dirty traveler\u2019s tricks.\u00a0 You\u2019ll be invited in for tea and treated as an honored guest.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Just cruisin’ along with the locals!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Not a Hill in Sight.<\/h3>\n

Most of Bangladesh is mercifully flat and the pedaling couldn\u2019t be easier.\u00a0 This is one place where you won\u2019t ever have to suffer as you cycle.\u00a0\u00a0 In the northern tea garden areas around Sylhet there are few gentle inclines but that\u2019s about it.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Eric is cycling with Mohamed Islam Raja. a member of the Sylhet cycling community. Mohamed kindly met us at our hotel in Sylhet and showed us a great backroad road and introduced us to another cyclist who told us about the amazing Border Road route. With out the local route advice, our tour wouldn’t have been nearly as much fun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Cities Suck.<\/h3>\n

Some realities just can\u2019t be sugar-coated.\u00a0 Cities are mostly crowded and chaotic with the smell of rotting rubbish and overflowing sewers permeating the air.\u00a0 The crushing mass of humanity can feel oppressive and overwhelming, particularly if you\u2019re cycling in the pre-monsoon heat.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Only at the crack of dawn does a semblance of calm prevail.<\/p>\n

Those who enjoy hustle and bustle might have another opinion.\u00a0 Maybe they\u2019d describe Bangladeshi cities as lively and invigorating.<\/p>\n

\"\"
This is a typical roadside restaurant in Bangladesh. You’ll find samosas (tasty when they’re fresh, less so by 5PM) and puri (a sort of fried bread) with sabji (vegetables or beans). Basic but not too bad.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Photographer\u2019s Paradise.<\/h3>\n

Bangladeshi cities may be grubby, but there\u2019s no denying they provide tremendous opportunities for street photography.\u00a0 In this colorful country where life is lived in the open, there\u2019s a photo to be made everywhere you turn.\u00a0 What\u2019s more, people love to be photographed!\u00a0 Their smiles light up when you show them the LCD display and they often thank you profusely for having taken their photo.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Best friends all keen to have a snap!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"
Local workers at a brick factory. A tough job for little pay.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A moment of rest after a hard day’s work.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Cricket! The country’s best loved sport.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Tools of the trade.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It\u2019s a Man\u2019s World<\/h3>\n

Alright, so maybe this one doesn\u2019t come as such a surprise.\u00a0 For the past 23 years, the country has been rule by female prime ministers, but women still take a backseat to men in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

Women are rarely seen working outside the home.\u00a0 Market stalls, shops, hotels and restaurants are all staffed exclusively by men.\u00a0 Women, of course, do venture outside the home.\u00a0 They shop, they accompany their children to school, they visit family and friends, and occasionally women can be seen dining in more upscale restaurants.\u00a0 But you won\u2019t find women having meals in the cheap roadside eateries favored by budget bike tourists.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unusual to see women driving cars or riding scooters.\u00a0 And women on bicycles?\u00a0 Highly unlikely you\u2019ll spot one!<\/p>\n

Bangladeshi men always showed me the utter most kindness and respect, even when I set out alone to wander the streets in search of photographs.\u00a0 Nevertheless, I felt some unease with the skewed gender balance in public places.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Three Burkas and a Bike!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
These girls definitely wanna have fun!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Rickshaws Rule.<\/h3>\n

In neighboring India, cars are taking over.\u00a0\u00a0 But in Bangladesh, it\u2019s still the humble rickshaw that rules the roads.\u00a0 Whether it\u2019s a major highway, a country lane, or a congested thoroughfare, you\u2019ll spot squads of rail-thin men straining to pedal brightly painted rickshaws bursting with goods or portly members of the middle class.<\/p>\n

Ever imagine being caught up in a rickshaw traffic jam?\u00a0 They\u2019re unavoidable in Bangladesh as the rickshaws vie for space on choked-up roads.\u00a0 Being stuck in traffic is all part of the fun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

Some of the Best Rural Riding in Asia.<\/h3>\n

Can she really mean that?<\/i>\u00a0 Yes, absolutely, I do!<\/p>\n

Rural Bangladesh is gorgeous!\u00a0 And accessible.\u00a0 An astounding number of beautiful byways link up villages.\u00a0 Zipping down the shady lanes past the traditional mud-brick homes with tidy garden plots out front is simply delightful.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh\u2019s cities and towns may be some of the worst cesspools in the developing world, but its villages are amongst the cleanest and most pleasant you\u2019ll come across anywhere.<\/p>\n

The very best cycling we found in Bangladesh was on the so-called border road, way up north along the frontier with India.\u00a0 This is a predominately tribal area and you\u2019ll spot more churches than mosques.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a Wild West sort of place, with rickety bamboo bridges, flooded roads and the occasional precarious river crossing on a decrepit boat.<\/p>\n
