Mountain-biking on trails is/was popular.
But if you are thinking of cycling around the island, thats a bit
crazy given the nature of roads and trafic there. I suppose
its not all bad. You can hire a van to transport you + bike on
the busiest routes.
The are plenty of better places in SE asia to cycle.

Checkout "Biking Asia with Mr Pumpy": http://www.mrpumpy.net

IIRC there was an article in Australian Cyclist about a
ride where they take you to the top of a mountain before
dawn, and basically you spend all morning riding downhill.

Might be a bit pedestrian, but if I ever goto Bali I'll
be doing it.

Not to be a spoil-sport, but still worth thinking about! Anywhere in the
region. Puts an even bigger question mark over personal safety besides
the traffic and road/track conditions.

Hmmm, good timing for a post on cycling in Bali, here's a article
from abc.net,

Bali on a Bike - Presenter: Eoin Cameron
http://www.abc.net.au/perth/stories/s1143443.htm Wednesday, 30 June
2004

Cycling past Gunung Agung, Bali's highest peak.

So many Australians have been to Bali, but Andrew Bain took his
bicycle...and loved every moment of it.

Andrew Bain is a former editor for The lonely Planet , and a travel
writer for The Age. He published a book last year about cycling around
Australia. He tells Eoin Cameron "anytime I travel anywhere in a car now
I get totally bored, it kind of transforms you". It's perhaps
unsurprising that Andrew would therefore take only two wheels on his
first visit to Bali.
