Neil & Harriet Pike have cycled extensively in Europe, Asia and South America. They began their travels by buying bikes in Istanbul and cycling home to Oxford. An 18-month bike tour through the Andes followed, igniting a passion for cycling high roads which led to a traverse of the Himalaya and other parts of Asia. They blog at:pikesonbikes.com and run the website:andesbybike.com. They are the authors of another Trailblazer title: Peru's Cordilleras Blanca and Huayhuash - The Hiking & Biking Guide.
