|  |     Write to Dave Linnus at CYBORG::D_LINNUS. He's in Maynard and lives
    in Fitchburg. He toured Europe last summer on his bike. The best
    things he had to say about Europe was Germany. Sounds like you're
    in for a wonderful time and man, am I jealous!
    
    I'm sure he can provide some very valuable info. He'll be more than
    happy to extend a hand. Have fun & hope this helps you out.

|  | Hi,
	I spent (only) two weeks cycling throughout Bavaria and Franken last 
September.  The countryside is so beautiful and the people were extremely 
friendly.  The culinary highlights were the beer, pastries and the bread, 
especially when you were out of the cities and the tourist traps.
	If I can be a further help, send mail to adt::oxenberg
	Oh yes, I did store my bicycle (boxed) overnight at the Frankfurt 
airport, for a small fee, I don't know if they have long term storage.

    If the Czechs can get me my visa forms soon, I'll be able to
    come in July. 
    
    Do they offer visas at the frontier? Their Washington, DC embassy
    seems awfully leisurely about sending the forms...
    
    How is the camping in the Frankenwald/Bohmerwald? Are farmers willing
    to let a cyclist put a tent up for a night (with of course their
    permission)?

    Back when I was living in Iran (a long story in itself), a friend's
    family was planning a trip to Prague.  They applied for visas, but
    as their date of departure arrived, nothing showed up.  They went
    to their travel agent to figure out what to do.  The travel agent
    said, "Don't worry, they'll give you a visa when you arrive.  The
    Czechs are hungry for tourists!"  
    
    The family arrives in Czechslovakia, and asks for visas.  The Czechs
    tell them that they can't get visas at the border, and put them
    on the next flight out of the country.
    
    Policys may have changed in the last 12 years, but I WOULDN'T RISK
    IT.

    The visa application just arrived. 
    
    I wonder what they want me to put down for vehicle make,
    registration, serial #...?
    
    Bike, Mountain, KHS, 1 each...
