hey, so i'm not actually from / never have been in london, so apologies for sneaking into yr discussions, but i'm an american (from chicago, most recently), studying in vienna for the next three months, and i'm trying to figure out what sorts of small bike trips i can manage while i'm over here. it's not likely i'll be back to europe soon. i mostly have class monday thru friday, so 2-3 days is the most i can spend traveling at a time. plus i'm on my fixed gear that i brought from chicago, so unless i rent a bike, long touring trips are reeeeally not practical.
but i was wondering, has anyone done much traveling around, especially eastern europe, with a bike? what cities / countryside areas are nice for riding, especially fixed gear? (no mountains, that is...) and are there good cheap bus/train services to check out - for example, i'm told that biking croatia is really nice, but i'd have to get down there somehow, ride around for a day or two, and come back to vienna, all in a long weekend.
okay. any advice you have would be really awesome. i haven't had much luck at bike shops around here, since they just shake their heads at the fixed gear thing.
thanks!
