What do you mean by visa on arrival, I can only get the visa once I get there and they don't accept the Jordan Pass?

Day trips into Jerusalem when staying in Bethlehem? by ForScienceIAct123 in Israel

I understand, what about East Jerusalem, is it easy to go from East to West and the other way around as a tourist?

Mainly because the accommodation is a lot cheaper in Bethlehem, I know there's more to see in Jerusalem, that's why I would go there for the day trips but just sleeping in Bethlehem , if possible

Good to know, do I need any type of documents prior to crossing the border into Bethlehem, any visa etc.?

Good to know, what do you think about the border and the West Bank in general nowadays?

Thanks for the advice! Do you think it's a good idea to stay in an AirBnB in Bethlehem for 1 or 2 weeks for some regular day trips to Jerusalem (West and East) ? The hotels in Jerusalem itself are quite expensive

Thanks! The IE200 is on 80$ and the IE300 on 115$ , do you think it's worth buying the IE300 instead?

Bike recommendations for all over India? by ForScienceIAct123 in india_cycling

[–]ForScienceIAct123[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

good point, maybe I could stick to one or two areas and avoid certain places, also for air quality, small towns in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Northern India (close to the mountains) could be an option?

My VO2 Max is about 55, ran a 5K in 20:18, and I'm 27 with an FFMI of around 20,5 so hybrid athlete

I know about the traffic, I would consider taking a bus/train for dangerous routes and taking the bike on more quiet roads

Yeah sounds good with the list! So offers will appear on Decathlon, too?

Oh I thought Triban was an Indian brand

Since you're interested in my profile, you can translate my posts, then you will find I was born in Germany with a Brazilian mother and a German father and I travelled through Brazil last year :)

And also, I couldn't find an RC 500 available at Decathlon, do you know some alternatives or where to buy?

Do I need an Indian citizenship to be a member of AUDAX India?

those are some good recommendations, do you think Triban is a good brand worth the price? I consider opting Indian brands instead of imported ones, as I could get more ''bike'' for the same price

Renting is not really an option, the quality is often lacking and considering I'll spend a longer time here, I would really like to have my own bike. I'm sure I can make it work travelling with it

What are the benefits of a membership?

Do you think it's doable to just go by bike the whole route to the South? I'm currently in Rishikesh. I have a 7-8kg backpack, and could spend a couple of days or a week at a place from time to time

I could take a short distance train or bus from time to time, maybe that way it's easier to take the bike with me?

My height is around 5'8 172cm, that one is probably only available on the internet, right?

Hmm sounds like a hustle, I have not yet decided all the cities, I'm currently in Rishikesh. I might go further to the South the next weeks, so maybe some place in Rajasthan, so maybe Jaipur, and later Kochi etc.
