Sports Review : Mountain biking and bicycle tourism in Rwanda
	By Tom Tofield It is not just the beautiful lake-side and panoramic, rolling, mountainous scenery that makes Rwanda an ideal destination for mountain-biking and bicycle tourism. There is also an extremely large network of non-tarmacked roads, tracks and single-trails, which are used nearly exclusively by pedestrians and cyclists, thus creating a perfect adventure playground for biking.
