Somtam2000 (the owner of this site) wrote an article about a day-trip biking tour that sounded pretty cool,found here: http://www.travelfish.org/feature/201

In terms of being able to do it yourself, I don't see why not - as long as you are cycle-fit and can deal with the heat. There are some pretty big hills in places. Also the main roads running through the island can be be pretty narrow which means it would be dangerous with big trucks going by, etc. It may be possible to plan your routes carefully to avoid the main roads and stick to the smaller, less-travelled ones - which would make for a more pleasant experience too.

I would suggest getting in touch with Somtam2000 as he might have some more info about specific extended tour options, etc. He will probably pop into this thread anyhow,but if he misses it, just send him a Private Message.

Maybe get in touch him to find out a bit more about extended biking tour options.

Definitely get in touch with Wayan (the guy who runs the business mentioned in the story above). He is a complete cycling nutter and has ridden all around Bali on numerous occasions.
