Cycling as Tourism Concept, eg. in Germany

This was an old railway track of nearly 100 km length in a quite hilly countryside, now converted into a lane for cyclists and inline-skaters only

one cycles through medieval, small towns, where one can find enough places to stay

Tourism Industry has picked up a lot because of this cycling lane, which is connected with a couple of others to cycle for hundred of km http://www.vulkanradweg.de
