Not sure how rugged you need it to be. Most of the small Degen, Redson, Eton, etc., radios would easily survive being carried in a backpack or pannier. If this is a multi-week trip consider that extra batteries may take up needed space and add weight.
Having both of those (sw-07 sw-100) I wouldn't consider either one "rugged" by any means. It wouldn't take much of a drop to rip the folding lid and wires right off of them...

Go to a Walgreen's store in your area and see what they have in the way of a small AM/FM/Shortwave radio.I am guessing you want something inexpensive and if it gets dropped or wet,you won't be out much money.Happy Biycling. cuhulin
If your seriously considering the SW-100E (E=European version), also consider the Sony AN-LP1 antenna. This antenna was included with the now discontinued SW-100S (S=System -N.A. version).
Without the AN-LP1/2 antenna, reception off the whip of either radio will be compromised but still very usable.
The SW-07 (includes AN-LP2 antenna) and the SW-100 are both digital tuning and both have a synch detector.
I personally like the ergonomics of the SW-100 but the SW07 automatically tunes the AN-LP2 (included). The AN-LP1 has a dial for band switching.
The SW-100's case is more rugged than the SW-07. But with either radio, or any radio for that matter, I would treat them with care.
Performance of these two radios with the AN-LP1/2 antenna are virtually identical. The performance edge is given to the SW-100 when comparing both radios off the whip. The SW-07 has more memory and also has a station memory ROM chip that can be updated annually. The SW-100 has 100 memories.
Yahoo groups has a group for each of these radios with lots of good info.

remember this is for a long distance bicycle ride now.
www.walgreens.com (Electronics,Radios) If you are going to be tuning a radio while riding a bicycle,unless you rig a good neckstrap to the radio,chances are you will drop the radio on the road and it's a goner.I don't know about the Walgreen's stores in your area,but the Walgreen's stores in my area almost always has some electronic thingys on sale and if they have any AM/FM/Shortwave radios on sale,you can buy one for about one third to about one half price off of the regular store price. cuhulin
i use a rat shack dx399(sangean 606) in a dumptruck. its very durable! it even fell out and got run over in the mud once! it looks a little rough but still works perfectly. i also use a grundig mini 300 while working construction. it hangs off the back of my baseball cap in its little protective cover with the antenna sticking up above my head. that would work perfectly while riding a bike. battery usage is great! i get almost 2 weeks on two aa cells. (watch out that you dont poke any eyes out with the antenna sticking up!)

The SW radio will only be listened to at night while in the tent.
At night in a tent? In that case if you want to spend a little more money,I suggest a Sony 7600GR Radio and a very good waterproof cover to keep it dry. cuhulin

The AN-LP1/2 fold up into the provided flat pouch about 8" square. Very easy to pack and well worth the money.
