Biking / camping/ by train in Europe for a man
 
Any advice well come

This is a website where the great majority of posters very rarely travel camping or biking. You can find those kinds of websites online with some googling.

Lonely Planet's website, The Thorn Tree forum would be a good place to check.

Following on from your other thread, which has deteriorated somewhat, are you intending to buying a bike once you get to Europe or bring one with you? Maybe you are already in Europe?

Travel insurance usually covers health care but you need to check they don't count cycling as a dangerous sport - don't laugh, some do!

I hope you manage to sort out a trip and have a whale of a time cycling though Europe!
Good Luck.

The advice I been given I may just take bike to get around on and stay in hostels if you have any cheap hostels round Europe please

candy7727 Feb 13th, 2013 12:07 PM

I going to bring a bike with me. Little fold up bike with 7gears. And panners. Plus a carring bag for train so hostels. And. Any other advice welcome I am taking all your advice

Staying in hostels limits where you can spend the night. Certainly in Germany and Austria, small hotels/b&b's/Zimmers offer excellent accommodations for a comparable price

I'd start with the european main bike paths http://www.eurovelo.org/routes/ , then look in detail in each country. Bike paths are far nicer (most of the time) than just hacking down busy roads.

Which countries?

If you are interested in the Netherlands at all then have a look at http://www.vriendenopdefiets.nl/en/

This website gives you a bunch of info which might help, but is more focused at bike holidays rather than holidays on a bike
