Hola todos !
I'm planning to cross central America from San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico and go down until Panama. Of course I would better go with someone than alone as a girl. I'm having a 2 years trip, and this will be the "bike part" of it (after sailing the Atlantic and before crossing the Peru with a lama... ;). I will do it anyone so if you are in to join me for the whole trip or partly, let me know. Any tip is also more than welcome. I'm about to look for a bike next week.
I'll buy a bike in San Cristobal de las Casas (hopefully), and I'm now looking for any information in case some of you already made this trip.
I hope to meet some of you on my way !
Hasta luego !

hi! having been in the area, going to tuxtla gutierrez will give you way more options for buying a bike. san cristobal has lots of tourist stuff, but tuxtla has real bike shops. you can also go on mercadolibre.com.mx. its like ebay for mexico. plenty of old steel suspensionless mountain bikes for pretty cheap. i bought a bike that way in chile and rode it around for a while. i always suggest it to other people.
