Couchsurfing.org connects people worldwide who “either need a couch to sleep on while traveling or who are willing to let a traveler stay on his or her couch for a night or more.” The point “isn’t just to find free accommodation,” according to its founders, “but to create understanding among people.”
Rentabikenow.com is “for cycling enthusiasts who want to make sure they have wheels when they arrive.” Enter a reservation time for a given city, and the site lists the location of the nearest rental shop, type of bike available, and prices.
