Now this was the worst day of the entire trip (so far). I rode on the bad road again that I had come in on to Siliguri from the Bangladeshi border. It is of bad quality and traffic is heavy.
\nA couple of times I was forced off the road again by oncoming buses.<\/p>\n

After about 30 kilometers, the road was quite ok at this point and I didn’t pay enough attention, I slipped off the asphalt down onto the soft shoulder (a step of some 15 or 20 centimeters). The pedal got stuck and I toppled over and fell into the dirt.<\/p>\n

Nothing serious happened and the bike was fine. The Betadine I put on the scratches on my knees made everything look bad, though.<\/p>\n

Cycled: approx. 135km<\/p>\n
