Best cycling touring anywhere is on the Continent.

Is there a general agreement that if one could live anywhere to spend one's life cycle touring it would be on the European continent? With the amazing cycling infrastructure, vast open spaces (compared to crowded little Britain), pretty towns and villages, varied topography and endless destination options, given enough resources, and ignoring the seemingly obtuse bureaucracy, would that be the ideal preference for cycling adventurers?

The well funded retirees on CycleBlaze think so.

Maybe so but the forum is not very active. Last post of any kind on any subject was two weeks ago. Perhaps the well-healed crowd don't talk to each other much?
I am rather hoping members on THIS forum will talk about their interests.

I have been fortunate enough to cycle in Europe (coming back soon for my third cycle trip), USA, Canada, Mexico Baha, a day ride in Vietnam and maybe another place or two. My take is the people have been great in all of them. For the most part they have been safe. And, every ride included something to learn and admire. Other human speed holidays (hiking), Spain, New Zealand, Portugal, S. Africa and elsewhere have been similaraly rewarding.

It's just being out there moving, meeting like minded people and eating all you want without wearing it later :smile:.
