Treskelion replied to the thread Etiquette for shared paths.Must have been part of the Spandex brigade (they work in grammes).

I thought I’d start posting summaries of the routes we have biked, and comment on how various caminos, chemins, wegs and vias go on a bike. I hope others will pitch in and describe routes they have done. This description is of course totally...
