    Travel by bike in Europe

    Alps and Alps, lovely but expensive, Switzerland will rob you blind. You can easily spend a couple of weeks on a big loop, don't forget Slovenia. I'd say 100-150 Euros a day as a minimum. You can do Norway as well, stunningly beautiful but also mucho bucks. Good luck
