Spent a few months cycling from Mexico to Panama a few years back. Costa Rica and Nicaragua were some of the best places I've ever been to - swimming in volcano craters, having breakfast snatched from your hands by iguanas, having the tents trashed by raccoons and monkeys, swimming with devil rays. Very safe cycling and great, friendly people. Food's a bit shit if you're vegan, but you get by.
