Dear fellow bikers,
Please be warned that we encountered some problems travelling from Zarin Shah towards Zaman Khan along the Zayandeh river. We are safe, but I can not recommend travelling this road!
Best

travelling advice isfahan province iran
Iranians dislike Americans and treat their women like shit. You are foolish to travel in Iran because Americans have been tossed into their jail simply because of our nationality. Iran is a shithole. That's a blunt truth, like it or not.
You could have written better words, man. Have you ever been to Iran, John? What you hear on media is absolutely different than what really people are.
If you haven't been to Iran, then let's listen to other American touring cyclists who did a tour through Iran, two and a half years ago a dad and his daughter came to Iran : http://fatherdaughtercyclingadventures.com/more-iranian-hospitality/ I know this father and his daughter, it just crossed my mind to put you a link.
There are wonderful Warm Showers members in Iran who really would love to host Americans, dude! I am one of them and I have got lots of friends who are really keen on meeting Americans.
TO TRAVEL IS TO DISCOVER THAT EVERYBODY IS WRONG ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES.
John, I kindly want you to have a look at these ;

Please don't insult to people and Cultures. We showed to world ,We're Contrary to negative publicity media.Did you come to iran?I recommend
John, was in the last years 2 times in Iran.
Absolutely amazing experience.
One of the safest and most hospitable countries on earth.
"Worst" experience (did you seen the ""?) in Iran was a begging guy in Esfahan. But elderly people came along to tell the young guy that`s not a good idea.
So don`t judge about countries when you heard just about media.
Travelling is the death of prejudices.
Sorry to hear that, Justus. Can you explain more what happened exactly?
While we all have different experiences, I would like to remind everybody that this is an international community. Please refrain from name-calling and profanity when referring to someone's homeland. Future such posts will be deleted.
Thank you so much, Ken! That's very true.
Hi Justus,
please give more details what`s happened.
Was in the last year in Teheran, Esfahan and lot of other iranian regions. Never made a bad experience.
Of course sometimes it`s possible to meet bad people. But it`s much less than in other countries.
