• So. I've been given a 3 day pass to go touring in a few weeks. Was looking around at where to go and I can fly to cologne for £11. Adding a bike to the flight is an extra £60....

    So I am now trawling German ebay for nice gazelle to pick up when I get there instead, then ride that home.

    Plan is to head north into Holland. Past the old factory at Dieren, ride over some bridges in Arnhem, then back down in South into flanders. Ferry then train home.

    I just need to find a bike now. Annoyingly ebay kleinanzeigan won't allow me to verify an account as I don't have an eu phone number. Does anyone happen to know a good source for bikes in cologne ish area?

  • Way way better change to fly to the Netherlands and pick up a Gazelle from marktplaats.nl and go from there. You can cycle through Limburg and the Eiffel to get to Cologne which is a really nice ride

  • I would if I could . Trouble is I'm limited by time, date, money and location. I need to fly on Friday after 5 in order to be back on Monday eve for work and childcare.

    No flights from Bristol to NL on the weekend. I'm happy to do a train from cologne in the eve so can go anywhere really. I'm just limited by flights
