6 month cycling trip
1. I am planning to travel through Europe via bicycle. I'd like to take roughly 6 months riding in and out of several countries. According to the Schengen Act, I only have 3 months in Schengen countries without a visa, correct? This is true even if I am crossing several borders a month? Also, does this change if I stop in Switzerland? If so, how long would I have to be in Switzerland? Is there any other way around the 3 month limit?
2. Has anyone done a trip similar to this? Would you be so kind as to share some wisdom and your route(s)?

You would have to apply for an extended visa of some type, but since you aren't going to be in one country (the normal process being applying to a particular countries consulate for the visa) I don't know how you could accomplish this legally. You legally have 90 days.
