PalenQ, we do plan on renting a bicycle (tandem if possible!) and scouting out the nearby towns. We have four nights in Riquewihr, so we will either walk or bike to nearby towns each day - like we did in Amboise last year!
We were actually wondering about renting a bike with baskets upon arrival by train in Cochem, then biking with our luggage to Riquewihr (picturing that and giggling - but hey we do our grocery shopping here in the US via bicycle!). But arrival is on a Sunday and I get the feeling nothing is open including velo rental...but Cochem has the most options bike-wise so this seems like a possibility...any thoughts?

Sounds great to me - I've biked along the Alsace Wine Road and it is a nice fairly calm route after you get out of Colmar, which is really a small town. You may pass by the copy of the Statue of Liberty on your way out!

right that train takes about 35 minutes longer than those that clock in a 5:00 exactly but those require multiple changes. Leave Colmer at 10:07 and be in cochem at 16:00 - not bad and more relaxed than an early reveille to get to the 6:43 train.
