"We should call a third rider (Mert) to accompany us. We will ride in close formation. Blah blah".
If this was an organized tour I would demand a refund on this dull ride. Riding in to the city was no more challenging than riding in to SF in the rush hour, actually a bit easier I think. There were no cars flying at 160-200 mph (yes MPH!) as claimed on a certain blog... No suicidal drivers, people cutting us off etc. GPS worked flawlessly and lead to the right address the first time. EZ PZ.
Getting out of Istanbul was even easier for me the next morning, around 9:30 am on a Friday. Granted this is going against the traffic, but still. In fact the most exciting part of the last day of my ride was getting chased TWICE by 2 different pairs of dogs near Luke's house in Sofia.
Now I am not the one to question someone else's experience, so I will say only this much. Istanbul traffic MAY NOT be bad, but than it may be bad, depends upon your luck :-)
