Around the Iran by bike

I'm a member of Oaj Mountaineering Club.
Two friends of mine (Omid Akrami & Behrooz Aghabaei) who are also the members of Oaj Club had 2 trips around the Iran by bike in 2008-2009.
I'll put their pictures here and hope you enjoy it.


If you've been in Iran by bike, you can share your pics here.

Thanks for posting all these nice photos Vahid. I remember my stay in Iran seeing them. I really had a nice time there. The beautiful mountain roads, the friendly people and the great food. The overall experience was excellent.
