1 year agoZelda - thank you so much for your kind comment! How wonderful that you got into cycle touring on a folder and I am happy that I was able to contribute to the beginning of your bicycle adventures. That was 12 years ago and much water has flowed down the Danube since then, but we are still touring. So good to see that you even made it to Italy this year in spite of Covid. I just took a peak at your journal, will now go back and read it.
2 years agoSuzanne -- I think this might have been one of the first journal entries I read on that other site. Or maybe it was another one of yours. Here's what I learned: folding bikes work, Germany is approachable for cyclists, and there are resources everywhere. I remember carefully not closing the window because I wanted to be sure I read it all before the site shut down (it always appears to be on the brink).
You inspired me to get a folding bike and get on with traveling -- not wait for others to be ready to go. That same year I did the Donau and a ride around the Black Forest on my own. Germany delivered with stellar routes even in poor weather. People worked to understand my limited language skills and I was never stuck.
This all seems obvious now -- I have done plenty of rides and in many places. Yet it was you showing me how, through your inspired writing and photos, that helped me take that first step.
Thank you.
Reminds me of the pedestrian/bike bridges in Copenhagen. :)
