John,

Some may laugh, others will understand ...
I've a bad back and I'm a motorcycle driving instructor: so I always =
wear a belt.  So do most of the colleageus I know.
When you sit on a bike the whole day, the lower part of your back can =
use some support coping with the weight of your upper body; specially =
when roads are bumpy. =20
Prices for good quality will vary from appr. 30 EURO till 50 EURO :-)

    Hello I am planning a series of longer trips in africa by bike, and =

is this.  When do you need to use one.  Is it advisable for me to get =
one, or does it not make much of a difference?
    If I should buy one, what should i look for and what prices can i =
