is Bike Tour Review
While bicycle touring is one of the cheapest ways to see Europe,
most bikers choose to pedal for the sheer joy of it. Imagine low-gearing
up a beautiful mountain road on a bike (smell the freshly mown
hay), then picture an air-conditioned Mercedes with the windows
closed and the stereo on (smell the upholstery). The driver might
think, "Masochistic nut!" but he also might notice the
biker's smiling face--the face of a traveler who can see clearly
from mountain to village and hear the birds singing while anticipating
a well-earned and glorious downhill run.
