European trains have special cars to accommodate cyclist's needs and I love it! This is a terrific way to travel. Europeans seem relaxed about taking long trips from country to country on a bike. Entire families tour this way with very young and well-behavaed children in tow.
Of course, relatively nice summer weather helps It it rains: put on a coat; if it's hilly, find a bus or train station to lighten to shorten the load; if you are hungry or tired, pull off the road, buy a snack and siesta. If the bike seat's hard, put a sheep-skin cover on it.
Bread and cheese make the perfect brunch on the train station bench outside of Amsterdam, near Gouda (pronounced "Choo-daah"). Train stations provide affordable, satisfying, portable, healthy and fresh food daily.
Weather is nice on the 8th--around 75 F. The sun is quite intense, but the weather changes from fair to rain showers quickly, so I wear my rain coat.
