Found this article interesting, about cycling on a road in Bolivia. I always wonder about comments like
"If you go to London, you have to see London Bridge and if you go to Sydney you have to see the Opera House," says Andrew Jagoo, 26, from Melbourne, recovering his breath after the ride. "And if you go to Bolivia, you must do the most dangerous road. There's an element of risk but you can say afterwards that you've done it."
Actually you don't have to do it. You could decide to do something completely different and not follow what everyone else thinks you "have to do". There are a lot of experiences out there.

Thanks for all the info on that decepe - really interesting to read the perspective of someone who's done it. I think I'll pass though. I wonder if Clarkson was really in that 4WD? Seems a bit unlikely, and the way they were videoing the rocks crumbling seemed a bit set up to me.
No probs. Your right, I think it was definitely staged, still a good bit of TV though.

to be honest i done the death road bike ride a few weeks back and it really isnt as bad as everyone makes out. unfortunatley there are still a few deaths each year but this is due to people going too fast and losing control on corners, if you can ride a bike and keep it within a 15/20 foot width span then your fine. Its a lovely ride, down hill 85% of the 64 kms that you ride. well worth the day trip!
