Is One-To-One Communication Worth It?
"Marketer's Note" is a weekly column informing marketers about the rapidly evolving, digital marketing technology ecosystem. It is written by Joanna O'Connell, Director of Research, AdExchanger Research.
For all our industry's talk about 1:1 communication between companies and consumers, the question – "Is it worth it?" - still looms large for many marketers. This was an unexpected finding from my interviews with marketers for my ongoing customer lifecycle management research.
I had been assuming – naively, it seems, in hindsight - that everyone saw the same inevitable end state that I do, one where consumers come to expect that everything they experience, from content to advertising, is tailored specifically to them. Not as in that classic scene from Minority Report where the approach feels aggressive and overwhelming, but in a more natural (arguably helpful!) way, such as, in my case, receiving a text message from Dover Saddlery alerting me when I'm within 10 miles of a store where there's a sale for the specific kind of stirrup leathers I like but haven't purchased in at least 2 years; or getting an interactive in-page ad from Wayfair.com that helps me match furniture items to the rug and coat rack I purchased from them over the last couple months. These are things that matter to me, not simply because I am a part of a segment, but because I, Joanna O'Connell, have very specific needs and interests.
This week's Marketer's Note is underwritten by Turn.
Forbes Insights and Turn Report: Read about what privacy means to marketers & consumers. Visit www.Turn.com.
What I heard during my interviews is that many marketers aren't yet convinced, or don't believe their organizations are convinced, that this level of specificity is a necessity. In fact, I heard comments that hit on several big questions related to this topic:
Is it worth it relative to the necessary investment? "Sure, in theory it makes sense to have a master system of record for people, but the amount of time and resources [necessary to get there…] it probably isn't worth it."*
Do consumers want a 1:1 relationship with me? "There are companies and brands that do a better job of managing the lifecycle. But then again, not all consumers want that 1:1 relationship – there's a balance there."
What industry-specific rules must I abide by, and what does that leave room to do? "We're dying to know Joanna O'Connell as a human being. It's not that we don't want it. [The question is] how much work and energy will it take to have that meaningful relationship given the regulatory environment in which we operate?"
All that said, here's what I love about these questions: they can help raise the level of discussion – from one of, "is it worth it?" to one of, "what is the right approach for my particular organization?" I am not ignoring the complex questions of privacy versus relevancy (of which much still needs to be said), nor am I ruling out of hand a world where consumers decide they'd prefer to pay for all content rather than receive advertising. Rather, I am arguing that dismissing a possible end state of 1:1 communication as "not worth it", full stop, means death in the long run. Companies must embrace the nuance and figure out the right balance given their own current and future customer-base.
(Dover Saddlery and Wayfair, I like you guys – make sure to serve me ads and other marketing communications I care about. It would make me like you even more to know you care enough to try and get it right.)
*Technology companies, it is your job to create solutions – and pricing models – that enable, rather than hinder this. I see progress here, where the talk has turned to "master ID management", "universal profile management" and the like, but we still have a long way to go.
Thoughts, comments, send them my way!

What you are talking about here Joanna is not really advertising...but rather promotion. It is about demand fulfillment not necessarily demand creation.
Demand creation comes about when a consumer has that epiphany that they actually have an affinity for a brand that heretofore they had not thought about or on an even more basic level, when they decide for the first time that they want...a what...sofa, rug, car, Big Mac, etc.
At the end of the day, all targeting is about proxies. What the marketer really wants is sales...and sales at a high margin. Promotion is a VERY IMPORTANT tool, but so is basic advertising. We have to create the demand before we can optimize it.
Digital as it turns out can do both of these things. So far we have doubled down on demand fulfillment. Which is great. The next big win though will be about demand creation. And while in that endeavor we want to be efficient but we also need to reach a lot of people...see network TV if you are missing my point here...
Jim, excellent point. Both examples I gave are demand fulfillment examples. And you're right, the question of demand creation is critical - people need to learn about brands, products and services they've never heard of, be convinced they want things they never knew they'd be interested in. Given that we also need to build desire (not just fulfill it) the question becomes, at what point does 1:1 become a necessity? Not on the first touch point, when, frankly, you know very little about Joanna O'Connell as a person (maybe you've bought some data about me that tells you some things that helps you get in front of someone who is likely to be interested, or maybe you simply cast a wide net to start because you're offering that kind of product), but the first moment you interact with me in any way, even if it's just serving me an ad, you have an opportunity to start building a picture of me that can grow with every subsequent interaction. So, ultimately, it's about having a strategic approach that assumes 1:1 is in fact valuable as a part of managing the full customer journey. Thanks so much for the insightful comment.
Agree with Jim's point. Ultimately, great effort in product development and mass marketing delivers more than targeting. Example, if your brand has an exemplary *cumulative* reputation (as a joke, let's say United Airlines) then the entrenched value is unlikely to be undercut by proxy targeting or promotion. But I think the larger point might lie, Joanne, in your response. Very often, too often, the great effort that marketers make to know me results in them knowing me too well and sending me an expensive promotion for a product or service I already have and use. This waste waste wolf (hidden in "targeting" sheep's clothing) should be part of the calculation that marketers deploy on value. But, I really no not think it is. Thoughts?
This is Peppers and Rodgers circa 1996. Since then I've never seen an example of a technology that has been able to make this work (though many have tried especially around 1999-2002) or a business that built a kick ass CRM based off 1:1. It's funny that we're still asking the question.
There's a difference b/w 1:1 marketing and relevance and I think this is where people get confused. Consumers want relevance. Google built the greatest business of our generation without keeping a cookie longer than a single Search session. It's relevance that brands need to give to consumers - not a wedding ring.
I don't think you have to stop at "relevant" if 1:1 is possible in a way that consumers feel ok about (a big if... we've done a horrible job as an industry explaining the value trade off between free content in exchange for receiving advertising; we've also done a horrible job explaining how, why, when, where, etc we use consumers' data). I think saying "relevant" is enough doesn't signal a long-term commitment to getting it right every time.
Joanna, my take here is that while the major technology players build up stacks with the end goal of being, true 1:1 communications between brand & consumer. That is likely not where brands will find the value in such solutions. Being able to, at the bare minimum, identify and reach your customers across channels is likely far more important in the near term than enabling a 1:1 dialog. The convergence of Ad & Marketing Tech has allowed this to become a reality for marketers, where CRM no longer means just sending email. Brands can now use 3rd party media to identify and communicate with their existing customer base and to a certain extent orchestrate a dialog with them. It's not necessarily 1:1 as you are likely going to lump people into broad based segments (recently purchased product x, no purchase in last 6 months etc...) but this will help improve relevance as well as reach and frequency of your messaging. I think the upside to smarter, more orchestrated, cross channel marketing efforts is enormous and this is where you'll see brands spending their time, energy and resources.

The way you can automate tasks in Android is something you can't do even half as well on other smartphone platforms (we're looking at you iOS) and the apps that are developed to cater to Android's customization abilities are simply amazing. You may have heard that a Do Not Disturb feature is coming to Android L and while we don't have an app that replicates it for lower versions of Android, we have some that can tie us down well enough until Android L arrives. Mr. Silent, Auto silent mode is an Android app that lets you automate when your device is set on either silent or vibrate mode. You can set time slots, locations, events, and even select contacts, that the app will automatically mute your device for. Read More
BrightExplorer Adds Tabs To Windows File Explorer
It feels surprising that Microsoft has not redesigned the default File Explorer of Windows in ages. Even though some features like the Ribbon UI were added in Windows 8 for improved navigation, the core usability issues still remained untouched. Windows Explorer, for instance, doesn't offer users a way to open multiple directories via tabs. Now imagine if you had to browse the web without the multi-tab interface which is now found in many modern web browsers like Firefox and Chrome. That being said, if someone needs to work with multiple directories, the Windows File Explorer doesn't cut it. BrightExplorer is a free program for Windows that adds tabs to Windows Explorer and allows each window to be opened in its own tab that the program attaches to the top of a single Explorer window. Lets take a look. Read More
Search Everything: Index All Internal Storage Files, OS Included [Android]
I have always managed to quickly access my files on my computer via Everything Search, thanks to its fast indexing of files and folders. A similar app called Search Everything is now available for Android that makes the process of finding files you store on your phone tenfold easier. At its core, the app is nothing more than a file manager for Android. However, it bears some distinct and useful features which make it worth having in your arsenal. The stated aims of Search Everything are to be a free file manager that gives you instant access to your files by indexing all the files and folders you have stored on your device. Read More
Get Fast Folder Search & Selection When You Save A Bookmark [Chrome]
I recently cleaned up the fantastic mess that was my bookmarks and I have been trying to keep them clean ever since. In that endeavour, I've added many new folders with the strangest names just so I know what links I've saved to them when I look at the bookmarks bar a month or so from now. The problem is, when I first organized my bookmarks, I was able to sort folders by name. The bookmarks manager, and subsequently the bookmarks bar doesn't automatically sort new folders by the same convention so all the new folders I've added appear in no order. This is problematic because I can't easily find the right folder from the (very) long list of folders I've created which is why Fast Bookmark is my new favorite Chrome extension. It lets me search for a folder in my bookmarks and filters the results as I type them. As opposed to opening the long list of folders, I can search for them. Read More
How To Add Voice-Over While Drawing On Your Android Device
Drawing apps aren't something we cover very often but with Clarisketch, I couldn't help myself. It isn't the next big thing in drawing apps as far as creating stunning art on your Android device is concerned (though that is subjective to the skill of the artist). It is a drawing app that lets you record a voice-over as you draw. Given you have a device with a large enough screen, you can create drawing tutorials on the device. If you aren't into drawing, you can take a picture from your camera roll and draw over it, while still recording a voice-over. The brush size, opacity, and color can be customized but it seems color selection is restricted at the moment. Read More
Headset Menu Adds An App Switching Menu When Headset Are Plugged In [Android]
Music apps, as abundant as they are will offer a new interface, a new way to access your music library, perhaps some new features, smarter search, and more. What few apps think about is the most important accessory we use when listening to music, i.e. our headphones. Headset Menu is an Android application that takes your headphones into consideration. The app is triggered only when you plug your headphones in. This goes for both your ordinary earbuds and Bluetooth headsets The app lets you access apps from the notification area and while you can add any app to it, it makes more sense to add music apps only. Read More
Searchr: Website & App Specific Search With Executable App Actions [iOS]
Spotlight is one of the more popular features of iOS and OS X. Unlike Spotlight in OS X, there are no search classifiers or filters in Spotlight in iOS. Searchr is an iOS app that does what Spotlight does but with filters for which apps the information you want to search. It's a free, ad supported app that will let you launch other apps, and search a host of others. The results are filtered by app so that if you're looking for say, file in Google Drive, you can scroll down to all matching results from Google Drive. A $2.99 upgrade lets you remove ads. Read More
ShortPaste Shortens All URLs From The Clipboard When You Paste Them [Android]
Link shortners come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Services like Bit.ly and Goo.gl can quickly turn a lengthy URL into a smaller one, which can prove useful in several situations, such as when the text field is limited (like on Twitter) or the said URL has too many characters to type. Generally when you need to shorten links you head over to a link shorting website, paste the URL and retrieve its shortened version. But if you use Android, and want to cut a few extra steps from the process, the new app ShortPaste can automatically shorten all links you highlight and copy to the clipboard. Read More
Notable PDF: Annotate & Save Changes Made To A PDF Offline [Chrome]
Browsers at the very least they let you open a PDF and read it and that will always be better than saving it to your desktop and using a desktop application to view it. Now, past that novelty, browsers are not the most impressive PDF viewers; you have your normal zoom in/out functions, printing, and saving but that's it. Notable PDF is a Chrome extension that puts a more feature rich PDF viewer in your browser. The extension can open PDF files from the desktop, from a link on a web page, and from Google Drive and Box. Notable PDF viewer lets you annotate PDFs, add comments, highlight text, and save the final annotated file in both Text and PDF format. Read More
An Introduction To AppleScript
Apple is not famous for allowing intrusion on their platforms, the carefully guarded iOS environment being one such example. You can customize it, but you have to assume certain risks, such as those involved in jailbreaking. Mac OS X however, is a slightly different scenario. Mac is a sophisticated Unix build working in unison with Apple wizardry. There are custom actions that you can make your Mac do that would render so much of your work absolutely hassle free, all at the click of a button. To help achieve this, Apple created AppleScript back in 1993. Where they let users automate basic functions on a Mac until a certain level of automation set in. If you want to customize your Mac experience through basic scripts, here is how. Read More
Lingua.ly Teaches You English, French, Spanish, Arabic & Hebrew
Learning a new language online isn't something new. We've seen tools like Duolingo that make the process easy and fun. And a quick search on Google will reveal a lot of similar techniques and methods, in the form of browser extensions, web and mobile apps, and well, whatnot. Lingua.ly is one such amazing tool that wants to make the entire web your language learning playground. It lets you know how well you know on particular language and then recommends different words and text to read and improve your skills from there on. Quizzes can also be taken from time to time to see the outcome of your efforts. Read More
Vestigo: Access WiFi Switch, Network, And Information From Any Screen [Jailbreak]
How often do you access your WiFi switch or need to view network information on your iPhone? If it's often enough for it to be annoying to switch to the Settings app each time then Vestigo is a tweak that can help. It is available in the ModMyi and Insanelyi repositories and can make the WiFi switch, networks in your vicinity, any network information available on any screen with a simple Activator gesture. The tweak opens a pop-up, overlaid on whichever app you're currently using, that lets you scan for other networks, turn WiFi on/off, and view signal strength among other things. Read More
StuffMerge: Gather & Arrange Clipboard Text Into A Single Message [Android]
I often share stories from both my Twitter and Facebook feed. Sometimes it's a simple retweet or clicking the Share button but most times, after I've read an article through, I like to share an interesting snippet from it too. When sharing from Twitter to Facebook, or vice versa, it's a more complicated process which has me copy pasting and switching between apps a lot. StuffMerge Message Wizard is an Android app that is an extension of the clipboard, allowing you to gather text and links to a clipboard. It sounds ordinary enough to not be a big deal but StuffMerge is not a replacement for your device's default clipboard. It records snippets you save to the clipboard when you want it to. These snippets are added to a board and can be added with a simple tap, so you can gather, arrange, and share them as one. Read More
Microsoft's Climatology Educates You On The Climate Of Any Place [Android]
Wherever you go in the world, there is one hugely variable constant, the weather. We've reviewed a ton of different weather apps in the past several months, many of which we found fairly fantastic. That being said, most of them have the same essential functionality, that is, to tell users daily, weekly or often hourly forecasts. But as weather apps have become simpler, so too has the data they provide. Climatology is a new weather app from Microsoft, and it's only available for Android at the moment. Climatology aims to differ itself from the plethora of weather apps by letting users view a different trove of weather information. Instead of ogling at current forecast, it lets you pick any location in the world, such as India, a month, and view average climate information for that location. Read More
A Better Queue: Use Rotten Tomatoes Ratings To Find Movies On Netflix
It's Friday, the weekend is here and that means it's time to kick back and relax. And what better way to relax than to watch a movie? Except, you have to first find a movie to watch and that alone can take time. If you use Netflix, the service itself will offer suggestions but there are always other ways to narrow down or pick movies. Netflix Roulette is one web app we reviewed a while back that picks movies or TV series at random. Movienr is another service for finding movies though it doesn't check movie availability on Netflix but offers a better way to narrow down the suggestions. And now there is A Better Queue, a web app that lets you find movies by genre and filter them by the Tomato meter courtesy of Rotten Tomatoes. Read More
Icecream Image Resizer Is An Image Resize Utility With Size Presets
UPDATE: It's been discovered this app brings malware with its installer. We have removed the link and would encourage you to remove it from your system, if you installed it. We apologize for the mistake.Image resizing tools for the desktop are about as common as weather and photography apps for mobile devices. It's come to a point that unless an application comes with a clown juggling flaming swords, you aren't going to be able to differentiate it from others. Icecream Image Resizer is a free Windows application that resizes images and while it doesn't come with a clown, it comes with preset image sizes that help you resize images for a specific purpose i.e. sending it as an email attachment or using it as your Facebook cover photo. Add to that it's very neat interface and we have an image resizing application that you don't have to force yourself to use. Read More
Parental Control App TimeAway Lets You Manage Your Kids' Device [Android]
When computers first became common, parents were reluctant to let their children use them, fearing the fact that they would spend all their time playing games or surfing the internet. Today, smartphones have the same bad reputation. Apparently, children today have mobile devices with more processing power than all of our childhood technology combined and is a concern for many parents who aren't sure how to curb mobile usage. TimeAway is a new Android application that aims to limit your kids mobile usage and give that control back in your hands. The free app offers plenty of features such as tracking time your kids spend on apps, detecting their current location, and remotely locking and unlocking their phone. Read More
WinDock: Set Custom Rules & Profiles For Window Management [Windows]
Windows has been steadily used for years but the design has largely remained the same. We, as its users, are always looking for ways to customize it and to make the user experience better. Fortunately, we have a gazillion different applications for that. WinDock is a new tool from Ivan Yu that lets you snap windows to predefined areas when moving or resizing them. This is extremely useful if you've got a multi-monitor setup and you find window management a cumbersome task. It works much like Windows 7's Aero Snap feature, only better. The application carries a ton of customization options and lets you set custom rules and profiles to be used for docking the windows. Read More
Sleep Timer: Set A Timer To Sleep Your Device And Turn Off Music [Android]
A feature I craved badly on my phone (an iPhone) was the ability to play music for a certain time period. I had to do a quick Google search to find out that it is something the native Music app supports. It's something that every smartphone should be able to do and while a native app may not support it, there are third party apps. Sleep Timer (Music&Screen Off) is a free ad supported Android app that lets you set a sleep timer for your screen in general, and music in particular. The app lets you set a timer and when the timer expires, it will sleep the device and turn off any music that is playing. Putting the device to sleep means that perhaps you fell asleep using an app that keeps your device awake but if a timer is enabled, it will sleep your device and save precious battery. The app isn't available freely in all countries so you might need a work around to download the region restricted app. Read More
Recordit: Record Screencasts And Save Them As High Quality GIFs
Creating a screencast is something that we have visited very often with tools for creating screencasts on Windows, OS X, and Android being reviewed frequently. Screencasts are great when it comes to instructional content and they have only have one drawback; the size of a file. You can go for nice HD screencasts for something major like a product demo but for something that's meant to provide quick instructions, you can instead settle for a faster loading GIF. Recordit is a free app for OS X and Windows that lets you record a screencast and turn it into a GIF. The GIF quality is excellent, better than what you would normally get if you used a third party app to create a GIF out of a video. With the app, you can create a 5min recording. The OS X app has a pro version that lets you control the frame rate and password protect your recording. It costs $39.99. Read More

AIRBALL is the next generation of table tennis. It´s a 3D-printed, light and squeezable ball, which is fun to play and doesn´t break when you step on it or squeeze it inside your pockets.
The company behind this interesting idea, is Germany based Philipp Günther Design. The team is looking to raise €8,000 fund to create a new ball, which is stable enough to play, but also flexible & squeezable using 3D printing technology.
My goal is to design, 3d-print, and sell the first flexible & squeezable AIRBALL.
I want to use 3D printing technologies to make development easier & quicker.
Unique shapes & designs will animate various people to try out the new sports gadget and push table tennis to a new level.

Cycling allows you to see places close up and at a slower pace. It keeps you aware of your surroundings and you get to experience a place more intimately than you would as a bus or taxi passenger. You'll see more of street life and meet people going about their daily business. It is also a great way to return from your holidays fitter and healthier than when you left.
Cycling is becoming easier in many western countries for both getting around town or for long distance touring. In Europe, Canada and America, money is being invested in converting old railways, building dedicated cycleways and putting in cycle lanes on busy roads. In Asia and Africa, the pattern is very different. In China, Vietnam and India, the bicycle was often the dominant mode of transport. Here, cycling is in decline, and has been thought of as a sign of past poverty. There is some signs of a return to bike transport in these countries, because of congestion and health benefits, particularly in China. Even in India, cycling is beginning to benefit as it is taken up by parts of the middle classes.
In Africa, the bike has been marginalised for a long time, despite being a cheap way to provide local mobility.
For tourists and adventurers, there are definitely better and worse places to cycle, but there's not many places you can't reach by bike.
Touring routes[edit]
You can tour by yourself, or you can go with a commercial guided tour. These have the advantage of making all the logistical and accommodation arrangements, and usually bringing your luggage along in a van, but can be very pricey.
Touring is quite a popular kind of adventure holiday, and you can find many blogs detailing people's experiences, cycling independently in places you really wouldn't expect.
City sightseeing[edit]
Biking is a good way to get around in many cities. Some even have bike sharing programs for short-term bike rental, mostly cheaper and more convenient for getting around than ordinary bike rental. See Bike rental below.
Mountain biking[edit]
Mountain biking deserves an article to itself. Hilly, less accessible places make exhilarating riding, but you will want a bike built for it. If you are going off public roads, check the relevant legislation (e.g. in England biking is allowed along public bridleways, but not along public footpaths).
Bike rental[edit]
Instead of bringing your own bike, you can rent a bike in most towns, for a few hours, a day or longer. Price per hour usually goes down quickly as rental time increases. Places to ask include bike shops, tourist businesses and tourist information points. Think beforehand about what type of bike and what equipment you need. Some firms charge extra for headlights and locks even when such are more or less necessary. Some equipment you find necessary may not be easily available.
Many cities have bike sharing programs for short-term bike rental, including:
- Paris
- Vienna
- London
- Stockholm
- Denver
- New York City
- Boston
- Washington, D.C.
- Chicago
- Montreal
- Miami Beach
- Hangzhou
- Rio de Janeiro
- Quito
- Buenos Aires
- Lyon
Generally speaking such programs consist of at least one (sometimes hundreds of) centrally located bike-rental station where you can automatically rent bikes with your phone, an app or a special pre-paid card charged to your credit card, your phone bill, your bank account or the aformentioned pre-paid card. Traditionally most cities have offered their own system such as Ecobici in Mexico City or StadtRad Hamburg in Hamburg, however in recent times some companies have specialized in this kind of service. Most notable among them is nextbike (operating mostly in Europe, but also in New Zealand) and call a bike which belongs to German railway operator Deutsche Bahn. Both are based on a rate per time which is charged by the minute (call a bike) or the half hour (nextbike). Usually the maximum time you can rent a bike is 24 hours (with rates capped at roughly ten to fifteen Euros a day) but you can return a bike any time you want and get a new one (you have to allow for a short waiting period of about 5 minutes).
As this system is still new and many companies are entering the market expect things to change rapidly and coverage to vary depending on revenue and local politics. Some cities also pay for their bike-rental operator to offer the first x minutes for free. Typical rates should be 8 cents per minute (call a bike, no discounts) or one Euro per half hour (nextbike, no discounts), however nextbike for example offers a discount of roughly fifty percent (with a free first half hour) for a price of three Euros per month valid for all cities and all bicycles operating on the nextbike system. Call a bike gives a 25% discount for all BahnCard 25 owners (also good for 25% reduced fares with Deutsche Bahn). Numerous city owned or city run systems give discounts for residents, special offers for tourists (sometimes in combinations with public transport discounts) or discounts for owners of week or month tickets for public transport.
In the United States (notably) Washington and New York City the systems are notably more expensive, as more of the revenue is generated through user-fees whereas nextbike earns most of its money through advertising on the bikes and stations as well as local cooperations.
Maps and routes[edit]
Cycling information and routes are usually found online, often from local authorities websites. OpenStreetMap, has user compiled cycling routes available rendered as a layer on its main website, and cycling routing maps available to download to Garmin devices that you can mount on your bike. There are many apps that can be downloaded to smartphones that take advantage of OSM data.
Google Maps also has cycle route layers for many places and Android phones already include it.
Advice and tips for cycle trips[edit]
There's a host of tips and advice available which is helpful especially if you're planning a longer journey. Correctly packed bikes can be taken on most trains, ferries and planes, and even sometimes on buses.
You can bike anywhere, but there are places where cycling is particularly good or easy. These are some of the more popular destinations and cycle routes, to give you a taste of what's possible.
Cycling in Africa has declined, and is below western levels in most countries. This seems to be in part because of poor infrastructure design in most cities and a perception of cycling as dangerous or as associated with poverty. Cape Town has a few cycle paths and lanes, but it is an exception even in South Africa.
Cycling the length of the African continent is one of the great touring challenges. Heat, disease, wild animals, poor roads, bike maintenance and logistical challenges stack up against experiencing the extraordinary landscapes and peoples.
China still has a high proportion of cyclists, although traffic can be dangerous. Cities like Beijing, Shanghai or Suzhou continue to have very good cycle infrastructure, even if car traffic is much more dominant than it once was. There is a 70 km segregated cycle lane between Shanghai and Suzhou. Hong Kong has less cycling than the mainland, but is beginning to become more bike-friendly, with a network of dedicated cycle paths around the New Territories.
The Yunnan-Tibet Highway has become a particularly popular challenge for touring cyclists. The end part of route isn't easily navigable for foreigners, however, because of restrictions on entry to Tibet. See also Yunnan tourist trail and Overland to Tibet.
The Karakoram Highway leading south from western China to Pakistan is a popular, though very challenging, cycle route.
Japan can be a good place for cycling. Drivers are more polite than almost anywhere else and cycling is quite common in some cities, like Kyoto.
An excellent series of maps are called "Touring Mapple". They are produced for Japanese Motorcycle tourists, but have a great deal of useful information for Bicycle tourists. They list scenic routes, campgrounds, hostels, and numerous minor roads. As they are Japanese language they are of limited use for general navigation for those without some Japanese reading skills, however they can be quite useful when supplemented with a Romanji map. Translations of the index are available online.
Bikes are required to be registered at a police station, though this is unlikely to be enforced if you are touring. Officially, cycling on pavements is outlawed, but this seems to be generally overlooked; in any case many pavements are officially dual use. Children, by law, must wear helmets.
A well known route is the Shimanami Kaido Bikeway, that connects the main island of Honshu to Shikoku, and runs from Onomichi City to Imabari City, a distance of 70 km.
Cycling in Taiwan is improving, with new cycle paths, but driving standards are quite poor. Kaohsiung has 150 km of cycle lanes and a city bike hire scheme.
The Samoeng Loop is a 100 km ride that departs Chiang Mai, heads into the mountains to the west, and loops back to the city. Popular with bicyclists and motorcycle aficionados alike.
United Arab Emirates[edit]
One of only three countries in the world which mandates bicycle helmet wearing for all ages (the others being Australia and New Zealand) and, of course, it can be hellishly hot. Fuel and air conditioned vehicles are as cheap here as anywhere in the world and both recreational and commuter cycling is paltry.
Most people still use bicycles in Vietnam, so cycling there can be a good choice. However motorised traffic is rapidly coming to dominate Vietnam's roads, especially near Saigon, meaning it is no longer the cycling paradise it perhaps once was.
National Highway 1 is a well-known route for long cycle tours, being Vietnam's main north-south road. There are plans to upgrade it to a six lane highway however, so it may not be a great route for much longer. The southern 1,100 km tends to be more popular, as it is reputedly more scenic and include long stretches of beach.
A popular alternative is to choose parts of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, which was the network of supply routes used by the Communist north to supply their troops in the south during the Vietnam War. This takes in the rural areas, crosses into Laos, and is much tougher cycling.
Cycling in Pakistan is very common. Cyclists often cycle the Karakoram Highway through the Hunza Valley in Pakistan to China. The Khunjerab Pass, at 4863 m, is the highest paved international border crossing in the world and the highest point on the Karakoram Highway. Organised tours and books about the journey are available.
Cycling in India is very common, and is becoming more popular as a leisure activity. There a number of informally known routes that are popular, but few that are officially designated. A few areas and routes worth mentioning would include:
- Manali to Leh - around 500 km through parts of the Himalayas
- Gujarat
- Sikkim
- Alibag coastal, flat, prone to wind
- Pune to Panshet Dam taking in Sinhagarh Fort
- Kerala
- Bangalore
Australasia and Oceania[edit]
Australia is making efforts to improve cycling, and cities like Brisbane have better routes and city hire schemes. Australia was the first country in the world to impose uniform national mandatory bicycle helmet legislation, beginning in 1990 [1] and it is illegal to ride without a helmet (except that in Tasmania this law only applies on public roads and in the Northern Territories there is an exemption for adults cycling along footpaths or on cycle paths).
Former railway lines in some states of Australia, particularly Victoria have been converted into dual use trails, with detailed maps and online services. [2]
New Zealand[edit]
Cycling is not a major commuter activity in New Zealand (except in Nelson), although it is increasingly popular as a sport and leisure activity and mountain biking is particularly well developed in Nelson.
Beware of buses and trucks on main roads as many drivers will not give you sufficient overtaking clearance; proportionately, five times as many cyclists are injured and killed on New Zealand roads as in the Netherlands or Singapore! You should also be prepared for the large distances between towns and cities and the generally windy weather. While there are some areas of New Zealand that are flat, most tourists cycling in New Zealand will find that they need to be able to cope with long hill climbs and variable weather conditions.
Currently, there is a network of cycleways being built around New Zealand, with some safe and beautiful routes already constructed: NZ Cycleways [3]. Helmets must be worn by law [4].
Most Western and Central European countries have well-developed tourist routes, in addition to commuter cycling in cities.
Pan European routes[edit]
Europe is developing an international network of touring routes, known as EuroVelo. These often follow existing national routes, but bring them together to make thematic and very long journeys, such as the North Sea Route, which takes in the coastlines of the UK, France, Belgium, Germany, Denmark and Norway. The furthest destination east is Moscow. Route 2, the Capitals Route, starts in Galway, Ireland and routes through Dublin, London, Berlin, Warsaw and Minsk before arriving in Moscow.
North South routes[edit]
- EV 1: Atlantic Coast Route (8,186 km): North Cape - Sagres
- EV 3: Pilgrims Route (5,122 km): Trondheim - Santiago de Compostela
- EV 5: Via Romea Francigena (3,900 km): London - Rome and Brindisi
- EV 7: Sun Route (7,409 km): North Cape - Malta
- EV 9: Amber Route (Baltic Sea to Adriatic Sea - 1,930 km): Gdańsk - Pula
- EV 11: East Europe Route (5,984 km): North Cape - Athens
- EV 13: Iron Curtain Trail (10,400 km) Barents Sea – Black Sea
- EV 15: Rhine Route (1,320 km) Andermatt – Hoek van Holland
West-East routes[edit]
- EV 2: Capitals Route: (5,500 km) Galway - Moscow
- EV 4: Central Europe Route: (4,000 km) Roscoff - Kiev
- EV 6: Atlantic Ocean to Black Sea: [5] (4,448 km): Nantes - Constanta. This route includes the Loire valley route and the Danube Cycleway.
- EV 8: Mediterranean Route: (5,888 km): Cádiz - Athens and Cyprus
- EV 10: Baltic Sea Cycle Route: (Hansa circuit - 7,980 km)
- EV 12: North Sea Cycle Route: [6] (5,932 km)
Baltic states[edit]
The picture is mixed in the former Soviet Baltic states, although the capitals like Tallinn have good networks.
- Main article: Cycling in Denmark
Cycling in Denmark is very popular for both recreational and commuting and is often compared to that of the Netherlands. Because of this (or perhaps the other way around) Denmark has a quite extensive bicycle infrastructure, including a network of nationally appreciated bicycle routes extending more than 12,000 km (7,500 mi). In comparison Denmark's famous coastline is only approx. 7,500 km (4,500 mi)!
Finland has generally good cycling in and around the cities (often with exception of parts of the centre). In the countryside you can often find suitable quiet routes, but sometimes this requires some effort. Not all major roads allow safe biking. There are bikers' maps for many areas. Biking off road is regarded as part of the right to access, but biking may cause erosion or other harm, so choose your route with consideration and lead the bike at sensitive sections. Bikes are available for rent in most towns and can be taken on buses and trains for a fee.
Cycling is a national sport in France, but city cycling is not as good as northern Europe, although it is improving in cities like Paris and Lyon. Drivers are relatively good with cyclists.
There are some stunning officially marked leisure routes, that take in many of France's well-known landscapes, like the La Loire à Vélo.
Nearly 15% of journeys are by bike in Berlin and cycling is common in cities like Hamburg. Some small to medium sized cities, especially university towns like Erlangen or Münster have made a lot of progress in becoming more bike friendly and bicycle may well be the prime mode of inner-city transportation in these cities. There are over 70,000 km of routes in total. Some of the longer, more famous routes include:
- Berlin-Copenhagen Cycle Route
- Elbe Cycle Route or Elbe Radweg starting near the origin of the river in the Czech republic it passes through Dresden, Magdeburg and Hamburg before reaching the North Sea at Cuxhaven
- Rheinradweg – part of Rhine Cycle Route (EV15)
- Via Claudia Augusta
- Donauradweg - part of EV6
As Germans like to have a Verein for almost anything there is one for cyclists as well, the ADFC, which can give you resources on bike safety, maintenance and maps for popular tours ranging from day trips to week-long holidays
Reykjavík in far northern Iceland has good cycle provision.
In Europe, the Netherlands are the most famous for cycling, with Amsterdam famous for its bikes.
Norway may not seem like a natural cycling destination, but it has some well-developed routes, which take you through some spectacular scenery and along the coastline. Wild camping is permissible in Norway, which makes some of the routes easier.
In Portugal, cycling facilities are improving in Lisbon.
Facilities are developing well in parts of Spain, especially cities. Major roads in Spain also have a standard cycling reservation. Drivers are generally polite to cyclists in Spain.
Most Swedish cities have separate bike/pedestrian paths or lanes. Quality is generally adequate but worse than for example Netherlands and Denmark. Many bike facilities focus on providing a car-free route for children, but may not be designed for speeds above 15 km/h. Some cities (esp Stockholm) have cycle lanes more adapted for adult vehicular cycling. Bike route signage is generally lacking but is improving in many cities (Stockholm, Gothenburg and Lund have mostly good signage).
Inter-city cycling is generally quite possible. Some railway lines have been converted to bike roads, otherwise intercity bikeways are few. Minor roads are usually paved, low-traffic and can be quite suitable for cycling. There are two national networks of signposted routes along mostly minor public roads : "Sverigeleden" and "Cykelspåret".
Bike helmets are mandatory for riders under 15 years old. Using a bike lane is officially mandatory if it's parallel to the road, but many exceptions exist. If the bike lane is not well-kept (for example, full of snow or debris) it's better taking the normal lane. In winter / spring (november - march in Stockholm) studded winter tires are recommended.
Stockholm has a bicycle rental system called Stockholm City Bikes. Some bike rental is available at bike shops in larger cities and some coastal resorts. Some local commuter trains (Stockholm free, Uppsala, Skåne for a fee) allow bikes being taken as-is on board during non-rush hours; otherwise a bike should be folded and put in a bag to be brought on board trains.
Vätternrundan is an open 300-kilometre race for amateur cyclist, starting and finishing in Motala, as a leg of the Swedish Classic Circuit. This race is quite popular; usually sold out one year in advance and with a somewhat hefty entrance fee (1500 SEK). Randonneur long-distance (200 to 1000 km) amateur races / rides are also organized in cities from Malmö to Sundsvall, and usually only require registration at the start or some days in advance.
United Kingdom[edit]
Cycling in the United Kingdom is quite good for leisure routes, with a national network developed and signposted by Sustrans. Some routes follow former railways. Cycling is good in some cities, especially Oxford and Cambridge. London has a network of cycle routes, although they are not as safe or pleasant as a city like Amsterdam. In general, UK city cycling is well below average for Europe.
If you are considering touring in the United Kingdom, it's worth considering buying the maps and guides produced by Sustrans to accompany the national routes they have helped develop. The routes themselves can be found on Open Cycle Map, but Sustrans' guides are helpful for nearby places to stay or visit. See also Cycling in Scotland for an overview of touring and mountain biking.
Middle east[edit]
Beirut's downtown has a car-free Sunday.
Petra & Wadi Rum
North America[edit]
Ottawa, Vancouver and Montreal have good and developing systems of local bike routes. Edmonton in the Prairies and Victoria in the West are said to be among the most bike-friendly in the country.
Touring in Canada[edit]
The Trans-Canada Trail is a set of linking trails connecting east, west and north Canada. See: Across Canada by bicycle
The Route Verte has 3,059 miles of tracks in Quebec, including leisure and commuter routes. They claim it is the most extensive network in North America.
City cycling in the U.S. can vary from the downright awful to the very good. Car culture is very strong, but encouraging cycling has asserted itself as a political idea, for environmental and health reasons in some places. Portland and Minneapolis are the biggest cycling cities. Los Angeles has a sizeable number of cycle paths.
Chicago, Seattle, and Boston are also good for city cycling. College towns like Fort Collins or Auburn often have good facilities.
Some major destinations, like New York are improving their cycling facilities and culture but suffer from traffic problems which might put off visitors. A Manhattan Waterfront Greenway encircles most of Manhattan. Washington has growing commuter bike usage, a bike share scheme and some long bike trails.
The U.S. is a huge country, with extremely varied terrains, and a strong cycling movement. Dedicated bike trails, as they are called in the States, are a growing leisure phenomenon.
Touring in the USA[edit]
The U.S. has 41,420 mi of (unmarked) national routes planned and put together by Adventure Cycling Association. The routes use the most bike-friendly facilities available, including dedicated cycle trails, old railway lines and quiet roads. They link up the major population centres and tourist destinations like the Grand Canyon and national parks. Some are focused on historic events.
Maps and supported tours are available.
- TransAmerica Trail - 4,262 mi
- Pacific Coast Route - 1,853 mi
- East Coast Greenway - 3,000 mi, quarter complete
- Great Divide Trail 2,493 mi
- Mississippi River Trail 2,000 mi
- Underground Railroad 2,000 mi
- Lewis & Clark Trail 3,252 mi
More info: Adventure Cycling Association map
Official marked US and state routes are included on OpenCycleMap. There is an effort to create a full official marked US cycle network: the first few routes have been designated, based on the ACA's network of routes.
There are of course many, many more state and local bike trails.
Central America and the Caribbean[edit]
In Nicaragua cycling is a good way to get around medium sized towns like León and Granada, whereas Managua is anything but a bike-friendly destination. Traditionally locals prefer motorcycles if they can afford them, but poverty means that you will be seeing bikes and even horse-drawn carts and horses even on city streets flowing through normal traffic. Most cities and many hotels have bike rentals for around ten US Dollars a day or less and you can buy a cheap bike even in remote places like San Carlos, Rio San Juan starting around 70-100 US $. Traffic on most highways is not that high but than again, so is the quality of roads. Drivers are accostumed to sharing the road with horses and pedestrians so as long as you are visbile enough they should be able to react accordingly. Keep in mind that city-drivers and especially those driving a taxi can be reckless next to the suicidal.
South America[edit]
Colombia is a particularly avid cycling nation, for the sport and the activity. Bogotá has an extensive cycle network.
Brazil has some reasonable cycling in some cities. Rio de Janeiro has a few good cycle paths and cycle hire. São Paulo has dedicated cycle ways, and nearby Guarujá has extensive cycle paths. Curitiba has over 100 km of cycle ways, one of the largest in the country. Overall, cycling is common, but traffic conditions don't make cycling as easy as it could be.

Yesterday, Apartment Therapy ran a bunch of genius (and, at times, ridiculous) photos of women's clothing used as decor—and coming from a clothes horse like I sometimes am, it makes total sense to decorate with your clothes. Hey, some of my most beautiful pieces of "art" are hanging in my closet! It reminded me of the now shuttered Shabby Chic store in NYC—they used to hang a row of various colored tutus from a rod attached high on the wall, up near the ceiling. The effect was frothy and enchanting—and it could be an adorable thing to do in a little girls room. Another clothes as decor follower? Jane Aldridge, the Sea of Shoes blogger. She's all about displaying outfits as room art—her mannequin is regularly done up with some couture/vintage concoction and her wall of shoes is visually gorgeous! Check out the Apartment Therapy photos, and get inspired, after the jump. Keep reading »

The megaclub hosts Space resident Ivano Bellini on Friday and White Party DJs Mikkel Dankner and Aaron Feld on Saturday. But house troupe Aquabooty, featuring URB and Mixer fave Marques Wyatt on Sunday, will steal the show. Wyatt, an L.A. native, has been a fixture of the West Coast disco-house scene since the late '80s, first with his MAC's Garage night, then on to the Deep parties at the famed Vinyl, which spurred the neo-soul-jazz Brass Sundays, featuring genre masterminds Brand New Heavies and Digable Planets. While maintaining promoter/DJ roles, Wyatt also found time to produce and mix for Nervous and Strictly Rhythm before settling with San Fran imprint OM Records. The four-to-the-floor prompt of his recent work For Those Who Like to Get Down gives you a clear picture of Wyatt's objectives. Aiding the nonstop beatfest is a host of fashion shows, pool parties, and even a sunrise breakfast on the outer terrace, which will cap the festivities Monday morning. With its around-the-clock liquor license, Pangaea/Gryphon offers the ideal setting for high-end hedonism. And you'll enjoy it....as long as you have the stamina to back it up.
Pangaea/Gryphon presents Destination Pangaea, Thursday, May 26, through Monday, May 30, at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Complex, 5711 Seminole Way, Hollywood. Festivities start at 10 p.m. Thursday and go around the clock. Tickets cost $20 at the door. Call 954-581-5454 or visit www.pangaea-lounge.com.

Ireland, Ireland
With the weather getting better for the summer in Ireland I was inspired to make a dress for the sunny days (even though there are not many of them!!). I got this pretty floral cotton from my local fabric shop last weekend and started workin on the dress straight away. This dress took about 9 hours to make. It is a basic "A" line shape with covered buttons down the centre back, an invisible side zip, a lace trimmed peter pan collar and lace trimmed pockets.

Human Behavior in the Social Environment (New Directions in Social Work (Routledge)) Brooks/Cole Empowerment Series: The Reluctant Welfare State Editorial Reviews: SynopsisFor more than a decade, Karen Chase taught poetry writing to severely incapacitated patients at a large psychiatric hospital outside of New York City. During that time, she began working with Ben, a handsome, formerly popular and athletic young man who had given up speaking and had withdrawn from social interaction. Meeting on the locked ward every week for two years, Chase and Ben passed a pad of paper back and forth, taking turns writing one line of poetry each, ultimately producing 180 poems that responded to, diverged from, and built on each other's words. Land of Stone is Chase's account of writing with Ben, an experience that was deeply transformative for both poet and patient.In Chase's engrossing narrative, readers will find inspiration in the power of writing to change and heal, as well as a compelling firsthand look at the relationship between poet and patient. As she tells of Ben's struggle to come out of silence, Chase also recounts the issues in her own life that she confronts by writing with Ben, including her mother's recent death and a childhood struggle with polio. Also, since poetry writing seems to reach Ben in a way that his clinical therapy cannot, Chase describes and analyzes Ben's writing in detail to investigate the changes that appeared to be taking place in him as their work progressed. A separate section presents twenty-two poems that Chase wrote with Ben, selected to show his linguistic development over time, and a final section offers Chase's thoughtful reflections on the creative process. Land of Stone will provide honest and valuable insight to psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, alternative therapists, and other mental health practitioners, and will also surely be of interest to creative writers, teachers, linguists, and anyone looking to explore the connections between language and healing.

10 Best Cities For Bringing Up Baby
1. Scottsdale, Ariz.
What does $150,000 buy you in Scottsdale? The average home, but also a near-spotless safety record that really wowed the folks at Parents. Low crime and low unemployment, coupled with a branch of the Mayo Clinic right in its backyard, make Scottsdale one giant security blanket for expectant parents. It gets powerfully hot during the summer, but average high temperatures that flirt with 70 even in December and January provide year-round access to 67 miles of paved trails, 105 miles of bike lanes and 22 playgrounds with baby swings.

Loneliness can take root deeply within you. Maybe your daily routine is punctuated by this pain emanating from an emptiness in your chest. If so, you know that you are in trouble. It is a symptom of your severed connection from humanity. But while it can instill a sense of worthlessness and hopelessness, it can also be soothed.
The healing agents for loneliness are awareness, acceptance, and compassion. Here's how it works:
Awareness. Choose to bring your awareness to your experience. Pay attention to how your body feels—the hollowness in your chest, the constriction in your throat, the heaviness of your body. If you feel the sadness well up within you, allow yourself to cry without restraint.
Acceptance. Many people instinctively try to run from loneliness. Sometimes they try to hide from it by numbing themselves. They might sleep, watch TV, or play video games. Or, they might try to distract themselves with chores and activities. They keep busy and superficially engaged in life. But none of this really works—at least not for the long haul. The aching emptiness breaks through numbed bodies and mindless activity.
Sometimes, people try to get rid of the pain by blaming themselves for it. They criticize themselves for being unworthy of others. They see all their flaws or mistakes and demean themselves for them. Frequently, their unconscious hope is that if they could identify what's wrong with themselves and fix it, then they can make the pain go away. Or, if they can't make it go away, they can at least make sense of it. But they only feel worse for their efforts.
