A Different Approach to Travelling

Germany has some of the finest bike trails in the world and most of them are very well marked. Except in the Alps, it is rarely necessary to share a road with heavy traffic. My cycling trips in Germany are 80% on bike trails, agricultural roads (where only tractors and farm equipment are allowed), and forest trails. Otherwise, it is possible to ride on secondary and tertiary roads with little traffic.
