Bike Riding in Baden Wurttemberg is one of the best things you can do in the region. The whole area is beautiful. Usually you will be riding in farm land, through Forests and sometimes along the Mountains. Be prepared to walk your bike up extremly high hills or to be going upto 60 mph hour flying down mountain paths!
I recently just discovered how easy it is to get from one city to another simply by bike. I went to the Sparkasse bank and they gave me a free biking map. (Ask for the “Freizeitkarte”) This map shows how to travel between any German cities in the region by bike. Today I was able to travel from Tuebingen to Reutlingen using the bike map.
There are a few things I noticed during my Journey.
1. Usually there are some signs on the road that tell bike travelers exactly where to go.
2. Sometimes there are no signs. Don’t panic. Try to pay attention to the traffic signs.
3. If you feel you are lost, travel back to the last sign you were at. Sometimes you may have missed a sign or accidentally gone the wrong way.
During my traveling I have had to turn back a few times because I felt I was going in the wrong direction. Actually there is usually more than one way to reach your destination. In the worse case that you really are lost, then there is always the option to turn around, or you can ask someone. Most Germans know a little bit of English, at least enough to help you. I would recommend asking two different Germans. Sometimes one person will tell you to go the wrong direction. It is better to verify your traveling information by a second German.
