Hitchbiking is a mixture between hitchhiking and biking. Instead of waiting on on single spot for someone to pick you up you are sitting on a bike, already heading for your destination. Once a Pickup Truck or a big truck showes up you rise your thumb and smile. Some prefer to park the bike at a good [[Where_to_hitchhike| Hitchhiking spot]] and wait there for a ride. '''==Pros:'''==
'''Cons:''' * It 's harder to find someone who has room for you and your bike.
'''External Links[[User:guaka|guaka]]<small><sup>[http://guaka.org site], [[user talk:guaka|wikitalk]]</sup></small> can confirm it'''s very easy in [[Ecuador]]. Hitching with 2 people and 2 bikes was very easy.

* You are never get stuck in a bad hitchhiking spot.
* You can enjoy beautifull parts of our trip on a slow pace with your bike and skiü bad or hard ones while hitchhiking.
==Cons==
* You need good bags which should be easy to remove from the bike.
* It s not that obvious for the driver that you want a ride.
* In countries with tiny cars and few trucks its really hard.
==Countries==
It's better in places with lots of pick-up trucks, such as [[South America]].
