The World on a Bike will take you on a smooth ride around the globe to encounter new people and landscapes. Today's tour - the Republic of Uzbekistan in Central Asia. We head from Toshkent to the ancient capital, Samarkand, the jewel of the Silk Road. More than 20 years have passed since Uzbekistan gained independence from the Soviet Union. We'll get a firsthand look at everyday life there.
