好像該闢一個『flipboard』單元 --- 每次在 flipboard 上面看到有趣、有用的文章,就不斷轉寄回自己的信箱,但是真要整理在 blog 上分享,又是個大工程。偷懶一點的,就只是先把連結記錄下來,有時間再慢慢把內容翻譯補上囉~。

最適合騎單車旅行的六個城市:《Six Best Cities for a Bike Vacation》(按:以美國為主)
1. Banff, Alberta, Canada(加拿大的班夫國家公園):Banff 有多美就不用多說,騎著登山車穿梭在國家公園內 120 miles 的路徑,光是想像就很迷人。
2. Burlington, Vermont(美國東北滑雪勝地):念研究所時學校每年冬天都會舉辦到Burlington滑雪的旅行,我雖然懼高又對滑雪不在行,但每年都還是參加這個旅行,到雪地小滑一下、玩雪,重點是可以和朋友一起住在有廚房、客廳的大套房,煮飯、聊天,把累積一整個學期的壓力釋放。沒想到,原來這裡也有單車路徑,甚至可以接上 1,300 miles 的『Lake Champlain Bikeways system』,一路騎到 Quebec(加拿大魁北克)!
3. Charleston, South Carolina
4. Healdsburg, California(美國加州):"or visit on August 21 for the Tour de Vine, during which you'll ride with local vintners and chefs and feast on goat cheese and baguettes at the farmers' market"
5. Hetchum, Idaho(美國愛達荷州):最近在 flipboard 上看到好幾篇介紹 Idaho 的文章,似乎有相當吸引人的自然景觀。
6. Traverse City, Michigan(美國密西根州)
