June 14, 2017: Bicyclists traveling the world have a great new friend in warmshowers.org — this world wide community volunteer group (currently 40,000 plus in 175 countries) offers cyclists free hospitality that includes overnight lodging and a hot shower. It’s a chance not only to connect with locals but also build longer term friendships. It’s estimated that 89,000 plus folks yearly hit the road for extended-long distance bicycle treks — lodging opportunities fill up quickly so make plans and contacts well in advance. Sounds like a happy way to clean up the road!
